Note for DrChrono users

DrChrono doesn’t send your PI data to MIPSpro through the integration. Access DrChrono’s PI dashboard to obtain the PI data you need to enter into the Track Measures section of MIPSpro.

Reference the DrChrono PI guide for more details.

Note for Flatiron users

Flatiron can send 100% of your PI data for all measures except for the Security Risk Analysis, bonus measures, and elective measures associated with the public health and clinical data exchange objectives.

Flatiron can send your first data upload for PI 1-2 weeks after you’ve signed the BAA and waiver in the MIPSpro profile. All additional data transfers to MIPSpro typically occur at the beginning of each business week.
