MACRA/MIPS Framework for the Future of Healthcare
What is MACRA? The Foundation of Value-Based Care

Our specialized MIPS services, powered by strategic integration of Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and Chronic Care Management (CCM), are engineered to do more than just avoid penalties. We proactively optimize every performance category—Quality, Cost, PI, and Improvement Activities—guaranteeing you the highest possible MIPS Final Score. This focus not only secures the maximum positive payment adjustment for your practice but also enhances patient health outcomes, creating a seamless, profitable alignment between regulatory requirements and superior care delivery. Partner with us to stop worrying about penalties and start earning the MIPS bonus you deserve.
Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS)
This is the track most providers currently participate in. It consolidates and replaces previous programs (PQRS, EHR Incentive Program, and Value-Based Payment Modifier) into one streamlined performance-based payment system.
Advanced Alternative Payment Models (Advanced APMs)
These are payment models where providers take on more risk for patient outcomes in exchange for higher potential rewards.
The Four Performance Categories of MIPS
| Category | Weight (Typical) | Focus | Compliance Strategy |
| 1. Quality | $30-40\%$ | Reporting on quality measures that demonstrate the delivery of high-value care (e.g., preventative screenings, chronic disease management). | Select and report on 6 measures, including an outcome measure. |
| 2. Improvement Activities (IA) | $15\%$ | Engaging in activities that improve clinical practice, patient engagement, and care coordination. | Perform 2-4 activities for a minimum of 90 continuous days. $\rightarrow$ This category is an ideal fit for CCM and RPM services. |
| 3. Promoting Interoperability (PI) | $25-30\%$ | Using certified Electronic Health Record (EHR) technology to exchange health information and engage patients. | Report on required measures concerning e-prescribing, health information exchange, and patient access. |
| 4. Cost | $10-30\%$ | Assessing the total cost of care and resource utilization relative to patients served. | Calculated by CMS based on Medicare claims data. No direct reporting required. |
