For the Promoting Interoperability Program and the MIPS Promoting Interoperability performance category, we are finalizing with modification the following proposals: Adoption of a measure suppression policy beginning with the CY 2026 performance period/2028 MIPS payment year and the EHR reporting period in CY 2026 that will not assess the performance of a suppressed measure and will allow MIPS eligible clinicians, eligible hospitals, and CAHs to receive the maximum available points for a measure or full credit for a measure

The average diet supplies about 5 to 15 mcg/day of vitamin B12 in a protein-bound form that is available for absorption after normal digestion

Additionally, RUC surveys contain clinical vignettes, and expert reviewers have raised concerns that these clinical vignettes are not typical and thus may lead to biased recommendations that usually overinflate time spent on the service
Factorial Approach Researchers have attempted to determine B12 needs by measuring daily B12 body losses, also known as the factorial approach
