  • 1.  2018 MIPS Quality Measuring Submission Method Changes

    Posted 02-02-2018 10:01
    Hi All,

    I just noticed that on the Measure Specification Sheets for 2018, of the Quality Measures I have selected, the following have Claims Only as the submission method: 195, 146, 225
    363, 359, 145 are Registry Only.

    2017, both Registry and Claims reporting were options for all 6 measures and I am currently using a registry to report.  I was planning on doing the same for 2018.  I thought CMS was trying to do away with Claims based reporting completely, so why the restriction?  Has this happened to anyone else?  If so, what does this mean for 2018 submission?  Can you even report 1/2 through registry and 1/2 through claims?  

    Thanks,
    Vicki

    Not sure what you're looking at.  I was just able to download both Claims and Registry Measures Specs for 195, 146, 225 and 145, and that is also reflected on the 2018 Measures List I downloaded some time ago.

    It does appear that 359 and  363 are registry only. I believe that was the case for 2017 as well.

    It is my understanding that you can do both claims and registry reporting, but they get scored separately and supposedly you get whichever score is better.  I don't know why anyone would want to do that, given the limitations of claims.

    I believe you're looking at incorrect information as well. Most of those are claim AND registry. 359 and 363 are indeed registry only.

    I downloaded the .zip files from here:
    2018 Resources - Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

    I just went back and re-downloaded the .zip files and they are all there now!  Apologies for raising any red flags... my original download was incomplete for some reason (I checked!).

    Thank you both for replying so quickly.

    Is there a listing of 2018 PQRS measures for radiology? Is PQRS the same as MIPS?

     

    Thanks

    PQRS ended in 2016.  Was replaced by MIPS in 2017.

    PQRS exists under a different name.  PQRS just moved under the MIPS umbrella.

    More or less. PQRS quality measures are no longer called "PQRS" but still exist (with the same number ID) as part of MIPS.
