Quality Measures.

For the 2020 performance year, the Quality Performance Category will be worth 45% of your final score. Eligible Clinicians (ECs) must select 6 individual measures of which 1 must be an outcome measure or a high priority measure.

• If less than 6 measures apply, then ECs will report on each applicable measure. Eligible Clinicians may also select a specialty specific of measures
• Small practice bonus of 6 points for MIPS eligible clinicians in small practices who submit data on at least 1 quality measure. A small practice is defined as 15 or fewer eligible clinicians
• You can also receive up to 10 additional percentage points based on your improvement in the Quality performance category from the previous year.

2020 performance year requires a 70% data completeness threshold

• Measures that do not meet the data completeness criteria earn 1 point. Small practices continue to receive 3 points
• Updated the definition of high priority measures to include opioid related measures.

3. Provider to Patient Exchange (40 points)

• Provide Patients Electronic Access to their Health Information (40 points)

4. Public Health and Clinical Data Exchange (10 points)

Improvement Activities (IA) Measures.

For the 2020 reporting, to satisfy this category, ECs can either: attest to completing up to 4 medium-weighted activities or attest to 2 high-weighted activities or attest to 1 high-weighted and 2 medium-weighted activities for a minimum of 90 days. High weighted-activities receive 20 points and medium-weighted activities receive 10 points.

Clinicians with special statuses will receive double points for each high-weighted or medium-weighted activity submitted. They include:

• Small practice
• HPSA providers
• Non-patient Facing
• Rural

Practices that are certified patient-centered medical home (PCMH) will earn the maximum Improvement Activity performance category.

For group reporting, 50% of the clinicians in the group need to attest in performing the same activity during the 90-day period.

CMS also added a new high-weighted activity, COVID-19 Clinical Trials.
