MIPS Reporting & Strategy for 2026

On $2M of Medicare revenue, a low MIPS score costs $180,000 a year.

The maximum penalty is 9%. A perfect score still only earns a small budget-neutral bonus. We run MIPS like the financial exercise it is: every measure selection priced before you commit it, scored exactly as CMS will score it.

The Problem

The score doesn't measure how good you are. It measures how well you played the rules.

A perfect 100% on a topped-out measure earns 7 of 10 points. Half of all clinicians sit below the national median cost score, most without knowing why. And the benchmarks reset every January, so last year's winning measure mix can quietly lose points this year.

Most registries transmit whatever you hand them. If the data is incomplete, they transmit a low score, and nobody warns you before it happens.

What We Built

A registry that runs your numbers the way CMS will, all year long.

It selects the six measures that score highest for your patient mix, watches all four categories as one number, prices every open gap in dollars, and submits directly to CMS when the year closes. Here is what the score is worth.

What You See

Know where you stand, model the change, submit with a defense.

01

Know where you stand

All four categories in one composite, scored as CMS will score it and updated as your measure data changes, rather than in a feedback report that arrives six months late.

02

Model before you commit

Swap a measure, close a gap, and see the point and dollar impact first. The six measures you pick in January decide most of your December.

03

Submit with a defense

Direct submission through our CMS-approved registry, with patient-level evidence behind every number. If CMS asks questions, we answer them.
