1. Log into EIDM website. Directions below from CMS:
Make sure that the NPIs affiliated with your Tax ID Number are current
Pull your 2016 Annual QRUR reports (Needed for 2018 cost performance category)
Verify your financial information to make sure your bank and account numbers are correct. This can hold up your payment.
2. Think about whether you meet the Data Completeness definition for your 2017 data
Data completeness means that you are reporting on a high percentage of the patients that meet the denominator criteria. This is currently set at 50% for 2017.
If you have lots of charts that the billing level has not been assigned, typically unsigned encounters, then these patient/charts are not being pulled by the ETL and are therefore not being reported on. This impacts your data completeness.
