Quality programs & regulatory support

Yes, Tebra Clinical is 2015 Edition, and has implemented the 2021 Cures Act updates. It will continue to work on the Cures Act requirements through 2022 and 2023.

To meet the quality requirement for MIPS for most participants, you must report up to six quality measures, including an outcome measure, for a minimum of 90 days. For those using the web interface, you must report 15 quality measures for a full year.

There are 271 measures to choose from. You can select from those that best fit your practice.

For most participants, the requirement for improvement activities for MIPS is to attest that you completed up to four improvement activities. For groups with fewer than 15 participants or if you are in a rural or health professional shortage area, the requirement is to complete up to two activities for a minimum of 90 days. If you are in a certified patient-centered medical home, you automatically get full credit.

There are 93 improvement activities to choose from.

To meet the requirement for Advancing Care Information you need to fulfill these required measures for a minimum of 90 days: security risk analysis, ePrescribing, provide patient access, send summary of care, and request/accept summary of care. You may also choose to submit up to nine measures for a minimum of 90 days for additional credit. And for bonus credit, you can also report public health and clinical data registry reporting measures, use certified EHR technology to complete certain improvement activities in the improvement activities performance category. Please note that you may not need to submit advancing care information if these measures do not apply to you.

MIPS data will be reported via the same methods as the Meaningful Use and PQRS programs. These are claims, registry, QRDC, web interface, and/or CMS EHR Incentive Payment Attestation Site. During this first year, providers will most likely need to report via two methods. For example, quality measures can be reported via all methods, except the Attestation Site. Advancing Care may be reported via web interface and the Attestation Website, while the Improvement Activities will most likely be reportable via registry and Attestation Site.

This program only applies to Medicare Part B.

Yes, Tebra Clinical provides the fields necessary to capture data from both the Quality and the Promoting Interoperability categories. Clinicians seeking to report quality measures not supported by Tebra may still submit any measure in their specialty set when submitted via claims throughout the reporting period. The late release of the final rule does not give vendors much time to update software. Please be patient as we do our best to get you features you need.
