Which QPP Reporting Pathway Is Right for Your Practice?

Your QPP pathway depends on your entity type, specialty, and APM participation status. Choosing the wrong one costs you points before reporting even begins.

Multispecialty group
MVP via subgroup or individual (2026 rule)
Group-level MVP registration is no longer permitted

What Does Macralytics's MIPS Reporting Service Include?

MIPS is the most widely used QPP reporting track in the United States. Macralytics manages every component of the MIPS cycle on your behalf, from eligibility verification through final CMS submission. We handle everything so you surpass the 75-point performance threshold to earn a bonus on Medicare Part B payments.

MIPS Consulting Service

Year-round MIPS consulting keeps your practice ahead of CMS rule changes, scoring shifts, and measure updates. Certified consultants review your performance data and advise on score improvement throughout the performance year.

Data Submission Service

Our QPP service providers submit all MIPS performance categories through CMS-approved channels before the March 31 deadline. Every submission includes validation checks to catch errors before they affect your final score.

Measure Selection Consulting

Measure selection determines how many incentive points your practice earns based on the benchmarking data released by CMS. Macralytics identifies the highest-scoring quality measures for your specialty against current national benchmarks.

Eligibility Check and Verification

Macralytics verifies your NPI-level QPP participation status using the CMS QPP Participation Status Tool. This confirms your reporting requirement, entity classification, and optimal pathway as soon as we get data from CMS.

Ready to Protect Your Medicare Part B Revenue This Performance Year?

A 9% negative payment adjustment on a $600,000 Part B billing volume equals $54,000 in direct revenue loss applied two years after the missed or below-threshold submission. Macralytics offers two service pathways.

Submission-Only Pathway

Covers data analysis, measure selection, and submission before the March 31 deadline.

Monthly and Quarterly Consulting

A hands-on, year-round approach, with specialty-based measure selection, regular monitoring across all four MIPS categories, and a final CMS score audit.

What Is MIPS Value Pathway (MVP) Reporting, and Should You Switch?

CMS plans to sunset traditional MIPS through future rulemaking. MVPs are the replacement, and the 2026 performance year has 27 active pathways covering most major specialties. What changes under MVP reporting:

Report only 4 quality measures instead of 6, all drawn from your MVP's specialty-specific list.
Earn automatic full credit (40/40 points) for Improvement Activities just by reporting within the MVP framework.
Cost measures are pre-assigned to your MVP, so there is no separate selection required.
Promoting Interoperability rules remain the same as traditional MIPS.

Starting in the 2026 performance year, multispecialty groups that are not classified as small practices can no longer register at the group level to report an MVP. They must report as subgroups, individuals, or APM Entities. Small practices with 15 or fewer clinicians are exempt from this requirement.

What APM and APP Reporting Services Does Macralytics Offer?

APM participants follow different QPP reporting rules than standard MIPS clinicians. The right service depends on your APM type and whether you have reached Qualifying APM Participant (QP) status. Macralytics covers all three APM-side service categories.

Advanced APM Participation Support

Advanced APMs require that at least 75% of participants use Certified Electronic Health Record Technology (CEHRT) and that clinicians bear meaningful financial risk under their model agreement. Clinicians who meet the QP threshold are excluded from MIPS requirements entirely and receive a separate 5% APM incentive payment on Medicare Part B. Macralytics reviews your APM agreement and QPP snapshot data from each CMS determination period.

How Does the Macralytics QPP Reporting Process Work?

Macralytics runs a year-round managed reporting cycle, not a last-minute submission sprint. From the first eligibility check to final score review, every step is handled by certified MIPS consultants.

1Step 1 of 6

Eligibility and Participation Status Check

Macralytics verifies your NPI-level QPP status using the CMS QPP Participation Status Tool. This confirms whether you are required to report, eligible to opt in, or excluded from MIPS due to the low-volume threshold or APM QP status.

Who Does Macralytics Serve Under the QPP?

Macralytics serves eligible clinicians across every QPP-defined entity type. Reporting obligations differ by entity level, so the service is scoped to your specific situation.

Solo and Small Practices

Practices with 15 or fewer eligible clinicians qualify for small practice status with special CMS scoring protections and exemptions.

Group Practices

Groups report under a shared Tax Identification Number and receive one unified MIPS score from CMS annually.

ACOs and MSSP Participants

Shared Savings Program ACOs must file APP Plus at the APM Entity level as a CMS requirement.

Health Systems and Multi-TIN Entities

Large health systems with multiple TINs need coordinated reporting across every provider level and specialty type.

Virtual Groups

Solo practitioners and groups of ten or fewer clinicians can combine reporting under one virtual group TIN.

APM Entities

Clinicians participating in Alternative Payment Models report as an APM Entity when they meet CMS participation thresholds.

Is Your Practice on Track for the March 31, 2027 CMS Submission Deadline?

Missing the March 31 deadline produces a zero MIPS score and the full 9% negative adjustment with no recourse and no extension. For a practice billing $500,000 in Medicare Part B annually, that is $45,000 in direct revenue loss applied in 2028.

Practices that engage Macralytics before June 30 of the performance year still have sufficient time to close mid-year data gaps across all categories and reach the 75-point CMS threshold before the December 31 year-end close.
