Project Description
Take Control of Your MIPS Score!
Your 2018 MIPS score will adjust your 2020 Medicare Part B payment between -5% and +15%. Be among the winners by taking control of your MIPS score. Clinigence will help you maximize your score by providing guidance, technology and submission services. Hover over any of the check marks on the chart to learn more about each of these areas.

More Than Ever Quality Matters
Under MIPS 2018, quality counts for 50% of your performance score:
- Remember you only need to report on 6 clinical quality measures (CQMs) out of a menu of dozens (EHR-based, aka electronic CQMs, or eCQMs).
- Choose intelligently which measures to report by comparing your performance to CMS-published benchmarks.
- Registry reporting extends the menu to hundreds of CQMs if needed. Clinigence is a 2018 certified registry.
- As a CMS-approved Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR), we also offer dozens of additional measures to choose from.
- Continuously track your performance through the year to ensure no surprises at the end of the year.
- Start early: quality improvement takes time and you cannot fix your performance retroactively.
- Engage providers by delivering just-in-time information at the point of care.
Clinigence supports all EHR-based MIPS measures.

Promoting Interoperability (PI)
This category, which accounts for 25% of your total MIPS score in 2018, should generally be covered by your EHR. In order to earn a PI score, you must use Certified EHR Technology (CEHRT). Clinigence can help you submit your PI data to CMS.
Improvement Activities (IAs)
To receive full credit for this category, choose 2 (practices with less than 15 providers) or 4 (practices with 15 providers or more) of the following activities supported by Clinigence:
- Depression Screening
- Diabetes Screening
- MOD Prevention and Treatment Interventions
- Measurement and Improvement at the Practice and Panel Level
- Tobacco Use
- Unhealthy Alcohol Use
Cost
In 2018, CMS calculates the cost component of your MIPS score based on claims. You do not need to submit any data. You may, however, wish to start building your capacity to manage the cost of care by integrating proven cost-reduction measures and risk score optimization tools in your practice’s workflow. Clinigence also offers a comprehensive suite of cost and utilization management tools that may be useful to you in future years.
