What Is MIPS EHR Consulting, and Why Does It Matter?
MIPS EHR consulting confirms that your certified EHR technology is configured to capture, report, and defend the data CMS requires for Promoting Interoperability, Quality, and Improvement Activities. A poorly configured EHR can cost points even when the underlying clinical care meets every requirement.
CMS scores Promoting Interoperability using four objectives, each tied to a specific EHR function. The table below outlines what each objective requires from your system.
What Does the Macralytics MIPS EHR Consulting Service Include?
The EHR consulting engagement reviews your current system configuration against CMS certification and reporting requirements. Each step confirms your EHR is set up to capture MIPS data correctly the first time.
Certified EHR Technology (CEHRT) Verification
Our team confirms your EHR meets the current ONC certification edition CMS requires for the performance year, including the Base EHR definition and any required certification updates.
Promoting Interoperability Measure Configuration
We configure e-prescribing, health information exchange, and patient portal settings so each PI measure captures a complete 90-day reporting period without manual workarounds.
EHR Data Mapping for Quality and IA Reporting
Macralytics maps your EHR's structured data fields to your selected Quality measures and Improvement Activities, so supporting evidence generates automatically instead of requiring separate documentation.
EHR Platform Selection and Migration Support
For practices switching systems, we compare MIPS reporting capability across EHR platforms and support data migration so no historical performance data is lost.
Ongoing EHR Optimization for Future Performance Years
We review your EHR configuration each performance year against updated CMS certification criteria and measure specifications, so your setup stays current as requirements change.
Ready to Confirm Your EHR Meets 2026 MIPS Requirements?
An EHR that isn't configured correctly can produce incomplete Promoting Interoperability data even when your practice follows every clinical workflow correctly. Macralytics provides a MIPS EHR Consulting Service that verifies your CEHRT status, configures your PI measures, and maps your system's data output to your Quality and IA reporting needs.
Our AAPC-certified consultants interpret CMS certification and measure requirements against your specific EHR platform, so no required objective is missed because of a system setting.
How Does Our MIPS EHR Consulting Process Work?
The EHR consulting engagement runs in four defined steps. Most reviews are completed within the current performance year's reporting window, well ahead of your submission deadline.
Step 1. EHR System Assessment
Our EHR consultation team reviews your current EHR platform, certification status, and existing PI measure configuration against CMS requirements.
What Other MIPS Services Does Macralytics Offer?
Consulting is just one piece of what we do. Practices also turn to us for specialty consulting, audit support, EHR setup, and small-practice packages.
MIPS Consulting Services
We handle the full MIPS cycle, start to finish. From eligibility to audit response, one team manages it all.
MIPS Data Submission Service
Macralytics acts as your authorized submitter for the QPP portal. Pre-filing checks catch issues before the March 31 deadline hits.
MIPS Eligibility Check Services
PECOS enrollment data confirms your participation status early. Every threshold and opt-in path gets mapped before your year begins.
MIPS Measure Selection Service
Live national benchmarks guide the selection of your Quality measures. At least one outcome or high-priority measure always makes the list.
MIPS Score Maximization
Extra points get identified across all four performance categories. Nothing gets left on the table before you submit.
MIPS Audit Support
A CMS audit notice starts a 45-day clock. Your documentation gets rebuilt, and a Targeted Review gets filed if your payment adjustment is at risk.
MIPS QCDR Partners
Your specialty gets matched to the right registry partner. Its accuracy in capturing your measures is confirmed from there.
MIPS Specialty Consulting
The measure set or MVP built for your specialty gets identified first. Both options are benchmarked before a recommendation is made.
MIPS Small Practice Package
One engagement covers eligibility, measures, and reporting. Small practices get full coverage without managing multiple vendors.
Who Needs Professional MIPS EHR Consulting?
Any MIPS eligible clinician using a certified EHR can benefit from a configuration review, but certain situations make this service especially important.
Practices Switching or Implementing a New EHR
A new EHR implementation risks losing PI measure configuration and historical reporting data if the migration isn't planned around MIPS requirements from the start.
Practices With Low Promoting Interoperability Scores
A low PI score is often a configuration issue, not a clinical one. We identify which objective is under-reporting and fix the setting causing it.
Practices Using Multiple EHR or Practice Management Systems
Practices running separate EHR and practice management systems need data mapped correctly between them so MIPS measures aren't split across incompatible sources.
Practices Preparing for MIPS Value Pathways (MVP) Reporting
MVP reporting relies on the same certified EHR data as traditional MIPS, so practices transitioning to an MVP need their system configured for the specialty-specific measures involved.
Is Your Practice Aligned With 2026 CMS PI Requirements?
The 2026 MIPS program keeps Promoting Interoperability at 25% of your final score, with a minimum 90-day reporting period across all four PI objectives. Practices must also meet the current CEHRT Base EHR definition and complete required attestations, including Security Risk Analysis and the Actions to Limit or Restrict Interoperability of CEHRT statement.
Failing any required PI attestation results in a score of zero for the entire performance category, regardless of how well other objectives are reported. Confirming your EHR configuration before the reporting period begins avoids this outcome entirely.
