MIPS doesn't have to be a year-end scramble. This guide walks dermatology practice owners, billers, and office managers through everything they need to know — from the fundamentals of scoring to the 18 quality measures that matter most for dermatology, and how to build the workflows that keep your practice on track all year long.

Why This Guide Exists
Most practices fall into one of two traps: they ignore MIPS until the submission deadline is weeks away, or they participate without a clear strategy and leave points on the table. Either way, the result is the same — avoidable penalties or missed bonuses on Medicare Part B reimbursements.
The problem isn't a lack of effort. It's a lack of a clear, dermatology-specific resource that explains how MIPS actually works, which measures apply to your specialty, and what your team needs to do at the point of care to capture them.
This guide is that resource.
