Performance follows the NPI
•
If the NPI worked for 1 TIN in performance period, then eligible clinician’s adjustment
•
will be based on the old TIN/NPI CPS
If the NPI worked for more than 1 TIN, we would take the weighted average of the
•
TIN/NPI scores
If the NPI did not have a score (because they did not bill claims), then the NPI is not in
•
MIPS (Excluded due to low-volume in performance period or being newly enrolled)
What if an EP has more than one submission?
Example: Multiple APM submissions; an APM, group submission, individual

•
If no APM score – take the highest remaining score.
