The Big Picture: Now that Medicare Part B outpatient PTs are subject to reporting under the Merit-based Incentive Payment System's Promoting Interoperability performance category, you might need to consider applying for an exception if you aren’t ready to meet the reporting requirements.

One exception is specific to the Promoting Interoperability category; the second exception applies to all four MIPS categories. So if circumstances might prevent you from reporting in any of the categories, you can see if you qualify for that exception.
