Review your NACOR dashboard
Practices that have recently uploaded new data files should review the NACOR dashboard as it allows you to monitor your providers' performance, as well as pinpoint any problems with the data and make necessary corrections prior to data submission deadlines.
Data completeness requirements for the 2022 MIPS Performance Period are:
- Submit 12 months of data (January – December 2022).;
- Report a minimum of six measures with at least one outcome or high priority measure.
- Measure must meet the 20-case minimum to be scored.
- Reporting rate must be at least 70% of all eligible cases across all payers for each measure reported.
Note: The minimum point threshold to avoid a negative payment adjustment has increased from 60 to 75 points for the 2022 performance year. It is important to check the measure performance rates for your practice to make sure the measures reported will earn the maximum points allowed for the Quality Component.
As a reminder, section 8 of the Addendum for Quality Reporting to the NACOR Participation Agreement states that your practice "and each EC agree, and Participant shall require each EC, to review his/her measure results in AQI at least four times a year and provide timely feedback to AQI on the measures that will be reported on the EC's behalf."
If there are questions about the dashboard results, submit a ticket to nacorsupport@asahq.org
MIPS improvement activity (IA) component
To earn points in the IA component an eligible clinician or group needs to perform or participate in any improvement activity for a minimum of ninety consecutive days. The final 90-day period starts October 1 and ends December 31, 2022.
For groups to attest to an activity, at least 50% of the clinicians (under the Tax ID number [TIN]) must perform the same activity during any continuous 90-day period, or as specified in the activity description, within the same performance period.
As a reminder CMS removed the following Improvement Activities for the 2022 Performance Year:
- IA_ BE_13 Regularly Assess the Patient Experience of Care Through Surveys, Advisory Councils and/or Other Mechanisms
- IA_ BE_17 Use of Tools to Assist Patient Self-Management
- IA_ BE_20 Implementation of Condition-Specific Chronic Disease Self-Management Support Programs
- IA_ BE_21 Improved Practices that Disseminate Appropriate Self-Management Materials
- IA_PSPA_11 Participation in CAHPS or Other Supplemental Questionnaire
The list of Improvement Activities that AQI is supporting can be found here.
Practices should maintain documentation regarding the IA for 6 years. Documentation should include a list of the NPIs that participated in the activity as well as how the IA was completed.
