- Pathologists Quality Registry Earns 2022 Approval to Enhance Practice Performance & Payment
On December 13, the CAP’s Pathologists Quality Registry once again received its qualified clinical data registry status from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). This recognizes the CAP’s significant investment to help members demonstrate quality and maximize scoring potential in MIPS. The Pathologists Quality Registry provides practice-specific guidance on success in the MIPS program, and provides pathology practices with real-time performance benchmark reports.
To support pathologists, the CAP’s registry is the only one to offer higher-scoring, pathology-specific quality measures and the ability to integrate with a practices’ laboratory information system or billing system for automated and simplified data collection for practices that prefer not to use the web data entry tool. The registry offers a choice of 15 quality reporting measures, most of which are exclusively available in the CAP’s registry.
The Pathologists Quality Registry is the only MIPS reporting option with measures that potentially allow large pathology practices to reach the scoring threshold to avoid a penalty, as well as the potential to reach the exceptional performance threshold. Small practices can maximize their bonus potential score with the CAP’s registry, too.
