MIPS, the Merit-based Incentive Payment System, is part of CMS's Quality Payment Program (QPP). It adjusts Medicare Part B payment rates based on performance across four categories: Quality, Promoting Interoperability, Improvement Activities, and Cost. Eligible providers receive positive, negative, or neutral payment adjustments.

Medicare-enrolled providers who bill more than $90,000 to Medicare Part B and see more than 200 Medicare patients per year are generally required to participate. Low-volume providers and those in their first year of Medicare enrollment may be exempt. We determine eligibility as the first step in any MIPS engagement.

MIPS has four categories: Quality (measures clinical outcomes and care processes), Promoting Interoperability (measures EHR use and health data exchange), Improvement Activities (measures care improvement efforts), and Cost (calculated directly by CMS from administrative claims). Weights vary annually.

Providers who do not submit any MIPS data face a 9% downward payment adjustment on all Medicare Part B reimbursements for the applicable payment year. Partial participation results in smaller adjustments. Strong performance can result in a positive payment adjustment.

Score improvement depends on selecting the right quality measures for your specialty, maintaining EHR compliance for Promoting Interoperability, choosing qualifying improvement activities, and submitting all data accurately by the CMS deadline. We assess your current performance and develop a plan to maximize your score.
