MIPS 2020 Full Reporting

This article is intended for use in the MIPS reporting for year 2020, and is designed towards assisting you with achieving Full Reporting requirements for MIPS. By fully reporting, you can possibly gain up to 9% back on Medicare payments on top of avoiding the 9% deduction to your Medicare payments by minimally reporting.

You WILL need the 2015 Certified Build of MacPractice, currently MacPractice 11.17.17 or 12.11.2 and up in order to achieve Full Reporting.

This path works best if you are:

• A practice of any size

• You're willing to do more to try to get as much back on your Medicare Payments as possible.

You can check to see if a provider is participating by clicking on this link here, which will take you to CMS's Quality Payment Program (QPP) site. When you check a given NPI on this site, make sure you switch the tab for the 2020 year after searching for the valid NPI.
