2019 MIPS data submitted; preliminary scores available

The Anesthesia Quality Institute (AQI) has completed the submission of 2019 MIPS Quality and Improvement Activity data for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Final scores will not be available until July; however, preliminary scores are available through the CMS Enterprise Portal.

NACOR dashboard unlocked

AQI unlocked the NACOR dashboard on April 6, allowing practices to edit their practice and provider lists. Providers who have retired or left a practice prior to January 1, 2020 should have their status set to "removed" on the provider list. Setting providers to "remove" will not impact historical data. For more information email AskAQI@asahq.org.
