gGastro Knows Your Numbers
When it comes to your reimbursements and potential merit-based incentive payments, knowing what to expect is usually better than being surprised at the end of the year. That’s why our gGastro electronic health records (EHR) system and gGastro Endoscopy Report Writer (ERW) software* come with a built-in gastroenterology estimated MIPS scorecard for value-based healthcare.
You can track your estimated MIPS Composite Score in near real-time in gGastro, factoring in your personal scores in the following weighted performance categories: Quality, Promoting Interoperability and Improvement Activities. When you know where you stand, you can be better equipped to make adjustments along the way and work towards achieving your goals in your MIPS reporting.
- Customize your MIPS dashboard
- Set reports to run daily, weekly, monthly or on-demand as needed.
- Drill down to individual categories, measures and even patients
- View 2021 Quality Benchmarks
- Report Promoting Interoperability measures using 2015 Edition CEHRT
- Easily generate a final file for submission
*The built-in scorecard for the ERW is based on office visits not procedures. If you only use gGastro ERW, you cannot use it to report MIPS quality measures. You must also have gGastro EHR.

**Numbers are estimated based on data collected by the Modernizing Medicine Gastroenterology gAdvisor service for the 2019 reporting year, using the MIPS scoring criteria published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”); may not reflect scores for all MIPS categories; final results may vary. Prior performance doesn’t guarantee future results.
What Are MACRA and MIPS?
The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) was signed into law on April 16, 2015. MACRA created the Quality Payment Program that includes the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System, also known as MIPS.
MIPS consolidated prior value-based care programs into one system that rewards or penalizes eligible clinicians based on how they perform compared to peers. Earn a MIPS Composite Score of more than 60 in the 2021 reporting year, and you may earn a positive adjustment of up to 9% on your part B reimbursements in 2023. Score below the 60 point threshold, and you will get a negative adjustment of up to 9%.
CMS calculates your MIPS score based on four categories:

The Stakes Are High
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) awarded the first MIPS adjustments early in 2019 based on 2017 performance, and in the 2021 performance year, it plans to raise the stakes even further with a payment adjustment of up to 9%.
If you bill $1.5 million in Medicare in 2023, your MIPS score can decide whether you gain or lose up to
$135,000
based on your 2021 performance.
In this changing environment, having a leading EHR vendor like Modernizing Medicine Gastroenterology to help equip you with the right people, processes and technology can help you streamline value-based care reporting and work towards achieving your MIPS goals.
