  • The details on each step are available on our MU Central website
  • Step 1: Confirm Eligibility
  • Step 2: Select a Reporting Method (Individual vs GPRO)
  • Step 3: Register With CMS
    • The deadline for GPRO registration is June 30, 2016. GPRO registration must be completed each calendar year. Even if you registered in 2015, you must register again for 2016 GPRO reporting.
    • If your practice registers as a GPRO, please send your GPRO registration confirmation email to TSI Healthcare.
