Practice Insights is pleased to announce updates in the application to support the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS).

MIPS Quality Measures Dashboard

The MIPS Quality Measures Dashboard has been updated to reflect 2022 specification changes for:

Measure Update Practice Impact
MIPS 450: HER2 Targeted Therapies for Breast Cancer
  • The checked Adjuvant box in the Line of Therapy category has been removed from the Numerator.
  • Numerator credit will now be met by a patient receiving chemotherapy within 6 months of diagnosis.
  • Telehealth visits have been removed from the Denominator qualifier.
Practices will notice a significant increase in denominator and numerator due to the removal of the adjuvant chemotherapy requirement.
MIPS 128: Body Mass Index Screening and Follow-Up Plan Technical refinements were made to better capture palliative care denominator exclusions through CPT codes and the iKnowMed Generation 2 Palliative Care Chart Alert. Practices may notice a decrease in denominator and numerator.

Advance Care Planning Performance and Activity Dashboards

Q3 2022 data will be available Monday, July 18, 2022, from the time period drop-down.

Status of Dashboard Updates for 2022

CMS releases updates to the quality measure specifications annually for the MIPS program and bi-annually for the OCM program. These measure specifications have been reviewed and Practice Insights is currently working on the required technical updates to align with the revised requirements. McKesson will continue to notify practices once measures have been updated based on the current 2022 requirements. The measures listed below either have no 2022 update required or have been updated.
