5 Agenda 2017 MIPS Submission/EIDM Improvement Activity opportunity Cost category information Balanced budget act information Q&A Appendix Significant 2018 changes
6 Poll #1 Do you intend to participate in MIPS for 2017?
7 MIPS Submission When: 1/2/2018 3/31/18 Registries may shorten this time frame CMS Web Interface closes March 16 Where: QPP Submission Portal What s Included: Quality, Advancing Care Information (ACI) and Improvement Activities (IA) What s New: Real time feedback on submission and scoring
8 QPP Submission Portal QPP Submission portal (
9 Question Can the data be submitted as a group or does it have to be individually? How do I upload the file? Teri from Reno, NV
10 QPP Submission Portal If uploading quality measure data, a valid QRDA-3 file will be needed from your EHR Portal will check QRDA3 format, report errors to your EHR vendor CLARIFY: Some vendors may provide a QRDA3 at the individual level only CAUTION: Vendors may charge for the QRDA3 report You can submit quality measures using more than one method the system will select whichever method gives you the higher score Use the portal to submit IA and ACI information if you have been using claims to submit quality measure data
11 Portal Newsflash Quality measures submitted through the Claims method can now be viewed in the QPP portal Review NOW to ensure your claims submission was successful Scores may be adjusted slightly when the claims run-out period has ended and the remainder of the submissions are included in the portal
12 Accessing the Submission Portal Enterprise Identity Management system (EIDM) If you already have an EIDM account from previous reporting programs - test your log-in at In some cases the EHR vendor/registry will submit clinics will still want an account to check the submission and pull down feedback reports later in the year
13 Creating an Organization or Individual Practitioner You will need to provide: Tax Identification Number (TIN) National Provider Identifier Must use Individual NPI, not facility NPI For groups, need at least two NPIs to proceed PTANs Must use Individual PTAN, not facility PTAN To find your individual PTAN, call your Medicare carrier (ie, Noridian)
14 EIDM Basics Application access is at the TIN level Each person needs only one EIDM account: You can access multiple TINs under your account Multiple people can have access to the same TIN Role selection is critical: Must start with Provider Approver Group (Security official) Individual (Individual Practitioner)
15 EIDM Account (Resources) New fact sheet on submission EIDM guide (page 12 has info to get started): Program/Resource-Library/Enterprise-Identity-Data- Management-EIDM-User-Guide.pdf New video on EIDM and submission - be Describes group process so if Individual Practitioner, there may be subtle differences.
16 Creating a New EIDM Account Budget time to do this Cannot be done in a few minutes or one day Plan for an hour or two over a couple days For solo practice may need your practitioner nearby to answer a few questions Read the section on which role you need (starting on page 5) HealthInsight/Mountain Pacific can walk you through this process Contact the QPP Help Desk at (faster response) or via at qpp@cms.hhs.gov
