Qualifying a Patient for MIPS

To ensure you satisfy MIPS requirements, you will need to evaluate and qualify every patient Episode of Care, commonly referred to as a Case, for MIPS eligibility. This is required for all Episodes of Care, regardless of payer.

For each individual patient Episode of Care, you will need to evaluate if the Classification or region of injury is one of the qualifying measures. If the individual is being treated for a qualifying measure, ensure the Episode of Care is properly Qualified or Disqualified.
