    Table: Example—PI’s Scoring Methodology

    PI scoring in action. The example below shows how numerators and denominators are used to calculate performance rates, which are themselves used to determine your measure scores. For detailed descriptions of what will fall within the numerator and denominator of the performance rate–based measures, see each measure’s detailed listings (click on measure title in column 1).
    2020 PI Measure Points Numerator/
    Denominator    		 Performance rate Points scored

    Objective: e-Prescribing
    e-Prescribing Up to 10 points 200/250 80% 80% of 10 = 8 points
    Query of Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) 0 or 5 bonus points The clinician didn’t report this optional measure.    

    Objective: Health Information Exchange (HIE)
    Support Electronic Referral Loops by Sending Health Information Up to 20 points 135/185 73% 73% of 20 = 15 points
    Support Electronic Referral Loops by Receiving and Incorporating Health Information Up to 20 points 145/175 83% 83% of 20 = 17 points

    Objective: Provider to Patient Exchange
    Provide Patients Electronic Access to Their Health Information Up to 40 points 350/500 75% 75% of 40 = 30 points

    Objective: Public Health and Clinical Data Exchange
    Immunization Registry Reporting Up to 10 points Claimed exclusion N/A 10 points
    Clinical Data Registry Reporting Integrated EHR with IRIS Registry; attested yes N/A
    Total points available: 110 Total points scored: 80 points
    2020 PI score is the sum of your measure scores (capped at 100 points, and reported as a percentage): 80%
    # Contribution to MIPS final score. If PI is weighted at 25% of your MIPS final score (which is the default weight), it can contribute up to 25 points to your MIPS final score—e.g., a PI score of 80% contributes 20 points (80% of 25) to your MIPS final score.
