Toned Illustration.The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all clinicians across the United States and territories. However, we recognize that not all practices have been impacted by COVID-19 to the same extent. For the 2020 performance year, we will be using our Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances policy to allow clinicians, groups, and virtual groups to submit an application requesting reweighting of one or more Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) performance categories due to the current COVID-19 public health emergency. To provide additional support to clinicians during this time, we are extending the deadline to submit a COVID-19 related extreme and uncontrollable circumstances application for PY 2020 to Monday, February 1, 2021 at 8 p.m. ET.
