The window for signing up for Virtual Groups begins at the beginning of October and runs through December 31 each year. You must submit your election to CMS via e-mail before the end of the year. (MIPS_VirtualGroups@cms.hhs.gov)

Virtual Groups are submitted by TIN. All NPIs associated with that TIN must be a part of the MIPS Virtual Group.

A MIPS Virtual Group can help you improve your scores. Virtual groups will allow you to submit MIPS even if you are not required to. Joining a virtual group will give you more patients to submit, as the entire group submits as one entity. All TINs in the Virtual Group will get the same score. This is a great way to start submitting and getting rewarded for your MIPS scores.

Our technology provides:

• Notification if your practice is REQUIRED to submit MIPS data
• A compliant, 10-second workflow, including the 150-300 words of required defensive documentation
• QCDR MIPS submission

All at no extra charge!
