You must use a 2015-edition Cures Update CEHRT. To participate in the MIPS PI performance category, you’ll need a certified EHR technology (CEHRT) that has 2015-edition Cures Update certification.
Check your EHR system’s certification. To check the certification status of an EHR product at any given time, visit the Certified Health IT Product List (CHPL) at https://chpl.healthit.gov/#/search. (Make a note of your system’s CHPL ID#; you will need this when you report your PI performance to CMS.)
What if your EHR system’s certification is still pending? CMS recognizes that some vendors may be providing upgraded EHR systems to practices while certification is still pending. If this is the case with your EHR system, you may still be able to satisfy the CEHRT requirement provided:
- your EHR system has 2015-edition Cures Update functionality for all 90+ days of your PI performance period, and
- CMS grants the certification by the last day of that performance period.
