MIPS Performance Feedback, Final Scores, & Adjusted Information

 

CMS recently made us aware that certain MIPS participant scores for 2020 were inadvertently miscalculated due to a technical issue. CMS is recalculating all scores to ensure their accuracy and plans to update both the 2020 scores and related 2022 payment adjustment information in the next few weeks. CMS also informed that the deadline to submit an appeal, or targeted review request, would also be extended.

Update: 2020 MIPS Performance Feedback, Final Score, and 2022 MIPS Payment Adjustment Information

The Centers for Medicare & Medicare Services (CMS) will be updating the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) performance feedback and final scores for some clinicians for performance year 2020 and the associated MIPS payment adjustment information for payment year 2022.

We are committed to ensuring transparency in our program and alerting clinicians as soon as possible when issues are discovered. Our intention is to provide clinicians advanced notice that they may see some change to their current final scores and payment adjustment information. Additionally, because of these expected changes we will also be extending the targeted review period. More details about what will change from the initial release, who is impacted and how this will affect MIPS payment adjustments, as well as the new targeted review period deadline are coming soon. We appreciate your patience as we work to confirm the information we’re providing you is accurate.

You can view your current MIPS performance feedback, final score, and payment adjustment on the Quality Payment Program website.  Please note the information you see now may be changing.
