e-Prescribing

In DrChrono, the denominator is the total number of prescriptions you have generated (printed or sent electronically ). The numerator is the number of prescriptions you have sent electronically from DrChrono with the Send Prescription button.

In the MIPS Dashboard in DrChrono, there are 2 options for reporting: e-Prescribing and e-Prescribing Including Controlled Prescriptions. You are able to utilize the data from one of the options for the reporting period.

Please note you will need to set up the prescribers associated with your offices. See our article here for more information.

As electronic prescribing of controlled substances is possible, MIPS-eligible clinicians may choose to include these prescriptions in their permissible prescriptions where feasible and allowable by state and local law. If a MIPS-eligible clinician chooses to include such prescriptions, he or she must do so uniformly across all patients and across all allowable schedules for the duration of the performance period. See attached document for more information.
