PI Scoring Logic
1. MIPS eligible clinicians are required to report certain measures from each of the five objectives, with performance-based scoring occurring at the individual measure-level.
2. Each measure is scored based on the MIPS eligible clinician’s performance for that measure, except for the measures associated with the Public Health, Clinical Data Exchange objective and PDMP(Prescription drug monitoring program) measure which require a yes/no attestation.
3. The scores for each of the individual measures are added together to calculate the total Promoting Interoperability performance category score of up to 100 possible points for each MIPS eligible clinician/practice.
4. To calculate the Promoting Interoperability performance category score, the measure scores are added together, and the total sum is divided by the total possible points (100). The total sum cannot exceed the total possible points. This calculation results in a fraction from zero to 1, which can be formatted as a percent. This percent is multiplied by 25% of PI category weight to derive PI Score
5. For a MIPS eligible clinician to earn a score greater than zero for the Promoting Interoperability performance category, in addition to completing the actions included in the Security Risk Analysis measure, the MIPS eligible clinician must submit their complete numerator and denominator (Numerator should be at least 1 or greater) or yes/no data for all required measures.
