The MIPS Final Score Preview period for the 2022 performance year is now open. Small practices are strongly encouraged to sign in to the Quality Payment Program website to preview their final score based on data submitted for the 2022 performance year.
Today we share a recent newsletter from CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services):
CMS has contracted with an entity ("Guidehouse") to conduct audits of data submitted as part of the Merit Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). These audits will look at Performance Years 2019, 2020 and 2021, and notification emails will begin in January 2023.
Check all providers in your practice in PECOS to ensure they are associated with the appropriate practice Tax ID number.
Join the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) and the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) on a webinar about the Security Risk Assessment (SRA) tool.
Whether reporting under traditional MIPS or using the APM pathway, you are required to report data for the Promoting Interoperability Category. One new measure to review concerns the SAFER Guides.
If you are seeing changes in reimbursements for Medicare services, it may be related to the sequestration payment adjustments.

Given the public health emergency, participants in the Quality Payment Program may find it difficult to meet the requirements for the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) for program year 2021.
Applications are now open for the MIPS Promoting Interoperability Performance Category Hardship Exception and Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances Exception for the 2021 Performance Year.
Application Deadline: Those interested must submit their applications to CMS by December 31, 2021.
