Thanks for posting the document. Unfortunately, lot of doctors ignore these things because they have decided not to participate. It is complicated and gets more so in future years. Some of us wish that the whole thing will go away(new administration?).

But for those who want to take a look at the process for at least 2017, your document is a welcome help. 2017 requirements are fairly easy to meet.

We have used ABFM's free PQRS registry to submit our data. This is a manual process, reporting on 20 patients. Takes a couple of hours to do. Too late for 2016 submission.

ABFM also has a free registry available, PRIME, for 2017. This is linked to your EHR and it extracts data and submits it to CMS. Anyone using this successfully with Amazing Charts?
Any problems? This will be of enormous help for those planning to extract (or not to loose)
a few dollars.

Some third party payers (in addition to Medicare) require you to participate in MIPS as a condition for payment of their own incentives.
