Determining a Composite Performance Score

A composite performance score (CPS) ranges from 0 to 100 for each Performance Year.             

The CPS is determined by a complex formula consisting of weighted averages from 4 Performance Categories: Promoting Interoperability, Cost, Improvement Activities, and Quality. For "Non-Patient Facing" EPs, the weighted significance of each Performance Category is shown in the table below.

These 4 Performance Categories are used to determine a Composite Performance Score which is then used to determine the Payment Adjustment for each unique NPI + TIN. Let's take a deeper dive into each of the Performance Categories.
