The Academy’s IRIS® Registry can help ophthalmologists avoid future penalties for failure to successfully participate in the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). All U.S.-based Academy members can use the registry, whether or not they have an electronic health record system.
What’s at Stake
Physicians who don’t successfully report for 2023 face up to 7% in penalties on all 2025 Part B Medicare fee-for-service payments.

Web Portal Reporting Time Estimates
Data entry for individual-measures reporting depends on the volume of Medicare patients you see. To estimate how much staff time it would take:
- Assume 3 minutes’ data entry time per patient per measure.
- Multiply by the number of patients you would need to report on to meet the 50% threshold (3 minutes x Patients).
- If you could report more than one measure by per patient, multiply by the estimated number of measures you expect to report per patient (3 minutes x Patients x Measures).
