Reminder: CY 2023 Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program Scoring Requirements

If you participate in the Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program in calendar year (CY) 2023, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) would like to remind participants of the program’s scoring requirements.

Scoring for CY 2023 

CMS continues to implement a performance-based scoring methodology for the program. Each scored measure contributes to the participating eligible hospital or critical access hospital’s (CAH) total score.

A minimum of 60 points is required to satisfy the scoring requirement for CY 2023.

In addition to achieving a minimum total score of 60 points, the following scoring changes were applied for CY 2023 from the previous program years:

• A reduction from 40 points to 30 points for the Health Information Exchange Objective
• An increase from 10 points to 25 points for the Public Health and Clinical Data Exchange Objective 
• A reduction from 40 points to 25 points for the Provider to Patient Exchange Objective

Each objective and measure can be found in more detail within the Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program 2023 Specification Sheets. 

Reminder: Program participants must report on all required measures to be considered meaningful users, regardless of the final score.
