ExamWRITER MIPS 2017 Resources
Under MACRA (Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015), Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) is a Medicare payment program focused on quality of care, rather than quantity of care. MIPS streamlines and combines meaningful use and PQRS.
The resources on this page provide an overview of MIPS requirements and describe step-by-step instructions for completing individual measures. For more MIPS information, visit the Eyefinity Support Community or the CMS Quality Payment Programs web site.

Documenting Advancing Care Information
Advancing care information (ACI) is worth 25% of your total MIPS score.
Your ACI score is divided into three categories: base (50%), performance (90%), and bonus (15%). While it's possible to achieve a 155% ACI score, scoring is capped at 100%. The required measures listed with an asterisk (*) below satisfy the base score of 50%. You must achieve the base score to receive any credit in the ACI category. Choose additional measures that fit best within your practice's workflow to earn performance and bonus points to meet or exceed the 100% ACI score.
