MIPS Measure | Score Weight | Score | |
---|---|---|---|
Quality | 40% | 95.3 | |
The Quality category assesses providers performance on clinical practices and patient outcomes under the traditional MIPS program. The quality measures help identify the quality of healthcare processes, outcomes, and patient experiences. The Quality measure category compromises 40% providers final MPIS scores. There are six collection types for MIPS quality measures: Electronic Clinical Quality Measures (eCQMs), MIPS Clinical Quality Measures (CQMs), Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) Measures, Medicare Part B claims measures, CMS Web Interface measures and The Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) for MIPS Survey. |

NPI Validation Check Digit Calculation
The following table explains the step by step NPI number validation process using the ISO standard Luhn algorithm.
Start with the original NPI number, the last digit is the check digit and is not used in the calculation. | |||||||||
1 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 8 | 5 | 6 |
Step 1: Double the value of the alternate digits, beginning with the rightmost digit. | |||||||||
2 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 6 | 8 | 10 | |
Step 2: Add all the doubled and unaffected individual digits from step 1 plus the constant number 24. | |||||||||
2 + 0 + 0 + 3 + 0 + 0 + 6 + 8 + 1 + 0 + 24 = 44 | |||||||||
Step 3: Subtract the total obtained in step 2 from the next higher number ending in zero, the result is the check digit. | |||||||||
50 - 44 = 6 | 6 |
The NPI number 1003003856 is valid because the calculated check digit 6 using the Luhn validation algorithm matches the last digit of the original NPI number.
