Understanding Promoting Interoperability Requirements

Promoting interoperability (PI) is worth 25% of your total MIPS score. You must complete 90-days of promoting interoperability using a 2015-edition certified EHR, like Eyefinity EHR 5.10 or later or ExamWRITER 15 or later.

In this section, you’ll find the following topics:

Small practices (practices with 15 or fewer eligible clinicians) may opt out of the Promoting Interoperability category. CMS will automatically reweight the PI category to 0% for all small practices, unless those practices choose to report any PI data.

ExamWRITER users who intend to meet the Promoting Interoperability criteria must use the ExamWRITER patient and provider portal. If you signed up for secure messaging prior to 2019, go to Transferring to or Purchasing the Patient and Provider Portal and transfer from your current secure messaging portal to the patient and provider portal.
