MIPS, or the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System, is a Medicare quality reporting program used by eligible clinicians and organizations to report specific quality measures. MIPS reporting helps physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy practices capture applicable MIPS data as part of the normal documentation workflow.

Tip! The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) launched the Quality Payment Program (QPP) to reward improved patient outcomes and support the shift toward value-based care. The Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) is one of the ways eligible clinicians can participate in the QPP. To learn more about these programs, visit About QPP and About MIPS.
How does MIPS Reporting Work?
MIPS reporting helps clinics track and report required quality measure information for eligible patients and encounters. These measures are used to show whether certain clinical information was reviewed, documented, or completed.
MIPS Reporting allows clinics to:
- Configure MIPS reporting at the clinic level
- Select the measures that apply to individual clinicians or the group
- Capture required MIPS data during evaluations or re-evaluations
- Review progress via the MIPS Readiness Report
MIPS Reporting Demo
Enable MIPS Reporting
Administrators control how MIPS reporting is configured for the clinic. They can choose which MIPS measures the clinic will track and report at the group level, or allow clinicians to select and track their own measures individually.

Track MIPS Measures During Documentation
Once setup is complete, any MIPS measures that apply to a patient will appear in the note for the clinician to complete during documentation. All daily notes and evaluation-type notes have a MIPS Reporting section where applicable measures will pull in based on the patient’s age and the service type on the patient case.

MIPS Reporting
The MIPS Readiness report shows eligible patients and whether documentation has been completed for each tracked measure. This report summarizes captured data, including complete measures, missing or incomplete entries, discipline-specific gaps, and data quality issues that may need follow-up.
