Q: Can you advise on how I should be using the data on the QPP lookup tool? While it has the 2018 data present, it still lists physical therapists as “not an eligible provider type”. As we’re directing PTs to the site to see if they meet the low performance threshold based on data previous years, they are not understanding how to use this page to determine if they will have to report this year as a mandatory reporter or if they can “opt-in” since it does not seem the data is up-to-date to see if they have to participate (again, primarily because it says not an eligible provider. Please advise on how a physical therapist, where the 2019 performance year is the first year where we would have to submit MIPS measures, should evaluate whether they are mandatory reporters, or if they don’t meet all 3 of the low-volume threshold and can opt-in?
