![Page 14: Macra and Hospitalists: Get Your Questions Answered](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030318/5a64bca07f8b9a2c5d8b47ef/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
QPP and Groups
![Page 15: Macra and Hospitalists: Get Your Questions Answered](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030318/5a64bca07f8b9a2c5d8b47ef/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Reporting as Individual
• Individual National Provider Identifier • Tied to single Tax Identification Number
(TIN) • Individual data for each MIPS Category • Payment adjustment based on YOUR
performance
![Page 16: Macra and Hospitalists: Get Your Questions Answered](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030318/5a64bca07f8b9a2c5d8b47ef/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Reporting as a Group
Group Defined: Set of eligible clinicians, identified by their National Provider Identifier (NPI) sharing a
common Tax Identification Number (TIN), no matter the specialty or practice site.
![Page 17: Macra and Hospitalists: Get Your Questions Answered](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030318/5a64bca07f8b9a2c5d8b47ef/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Group
• One TIN • Regardless of specialty or practice site • Aggregated group level data sent for each
MIPS Category • In-Hospital physicians in group – no need to
report on Advancing Care Information
![Page 18: Macra and Hospitalists: Get Your Questions Answered](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030318/5a64bca07f8b9a2c5d8b47ef/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Digesting CMS Information The hospital-based determination is done at the
individual national provider identifier (NPI) level. If an eligible clinician is determined to be hospital-based, that
status will apply to all NPI/ tax identification number (TIN) combinations for the clinician. If an individual
eligible clinician is hospital-based, we will automatically reweight the Advancing Care Information (ACI)
performance category. If the eligible clinician is part of a group, the group has the option to include or exclude
ACI data for the hospital-based clinician(s). If the entire group is hospital-based, the group's ACI category will be reweighted if the group does not submit any ACI data. The group, despite being entirely hospital-based, would have the option to include, or not include their data in
the group data that is submitted to CMS, but their payment will be adjusted based on the group's MIPS final
score.

Groups, Quality, and the Physician Compare Conundrum
![Page 20: Macra and Hospitalists: Get Your Questions Answered](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030318/5a64bca07f8b9a2c5d8b47ef/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Groups and Physician Compare
• PQRS = MIPS Quality • Selected Measures apply to all physicians • Tax Identification Number • Data Aggregation
![Page 21: Macra and Hospitalists: Get Your Questions Answered](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030318/5a64bca07f8b9a2c5d8b47ef/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Questions for Your Consideration
• Do you have one TIN? • Does this structure have the ability to satisfy
all your physician types? • If not, how could your hospital benefit? • Does it really matter if a physician has no
data on Physician Compare?
![Page 22: Macra and Hospitalists: Get Your Questions Answered](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030318/5a64bca07f8b9a2c5d8b47ef/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Things to Think About
• This is a QUALITY program – how will the group fare?
• Hospital Contract? • What is your plan? October 2nd is the last day to
get 90 days of information
