Check Final 2022 MIPS Eligibility Status; Prelim 2023 Status

Check Final 2022 MIPS Eligibility Status MIPS Low-Volume Threshold Criteria for 2022 and Participating Through the Opt-In or Voluntary Reporting Options Check Your Initial 2023 MIPS Eligibility on the QPP Website Check Final 2022 MIPS Eligibility Status You can now visit the Quality Payment Program (QPP) Participation Status Tool and review your final 2022 eligibility status for the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). We've updated your eligibility status based on our review of Medicare Part B claims and Medicare Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System (PECOS) data from the second segment of the MIPS Eligibility Determination Period (October 1, 2021 – September 30, 2022). This status is final unless you participate in an Advanced Alternative Payment Model (APM) and your Qualifying APM Participant (QP) status changes as a result of the third APM Snapshot for the 2022 performance year. Results from the third APM Snapshot will be available in December 2022 and will be announced through the QPP listserv. Review Your 2022 Eligibility Your status may have changed, so we encourage you to use the QPP Participation Status Tool to confirm your final 2022 MIPS eligibility status. If, after a review of the data from the first segment of the MIPS Eligibility Determination Period (October 1, 2020 – September 30, 2021), you were determined to be: Eligible for MIPS: Your eligibility status could have changed, and you may no longer be eligible. You should use the tool to make sure you're still eligible. Not eligible for MIPS at a particular practice: Your eligibility status, based on your association with that particular practice, didn't change. Please note, if you joined a new practice (meaning you billed under, or assigned your billing rights to, a new or different Tax Identification Number (TIN)) between October 1, 2021, and September 30, 2022, we evaluated your MIPS eligibility status based on your association with that new practice (identified by TIN) for this second review. If you're a clinician that joined a new practice after September 30, 2022, you aren't eligible for MIPS as an individual based on your association with that new practice (identified by TIN). However, you may be eligible to receive a MIPS payment adjustment based on your group's participation, if the new practice you joined chooses to participate in MIPS as a group. For More Information Please visit the MIPS Participation Options Overview webpage on the Quality Payment Program website and check out the following resources: 2022 MIPS Eligibility and Participation Quick Start Guide (PDF). 2022 MIPS Eligibility and Participation User Guide (PDF). MIPS Low-Volume Threshold Criteria for 2022 and Participating Through the Opt-In or Voluntary Reporting Options Clinicians and groups are excluded from MIPS for 2022 if they: Billed $90,000 or less in Medicare Part B allowed charges for covered professional services during either of the 2 segments of the MIPS Eligibility Determination Period (October 1, 2020 – September 30, 2021, or October 1, 2021 – September 30, 2022); OR Provided care to 200 or fewer Part B-enrolled patients during either of the 2 segments of the MIPS Eligibility Determination Period; OR Provided 200 or fewer covered professional services to Part B patients during either of the 2 segments of the MIPS Eligibility Determination Period. In order to be eligible for MIPS, a clinician or group must exceed all 3 criteria listed above. You can check the Quality Payment Program (QPP) Participation Status Tool to view your final 2022 eligibility status for MIPS. Participation Options for Clinicians and Groups Not Eligible for MIPS Clinicians and groups who aren't eligible for MIPS can still report data via traditional MIPS. Clinicians and groups who are identified as "opt-in eligible" on the QPP Participation Status Tool have exceeded 1 or 2 of the low-volume threshold criteria noted above and have at least one clinician who: Is identified as a MIPS eligible clinician type on Medicare Part B claims; Enrolled as a Medicare provider before 2022; and Isn't a QP. Opt-in eligible clinicians and groups who wish to report data via traditional MIPS can: Elect to Opt-in to MIPS. You'll receive a MIPS payment adjustment (positive, negative or neutral). Elect to Voluntarily Report. You won't receive a MIPS payment adjustment. Note: Once you make your election, your election is binding and irreversible. Clinicians and groups who are excluded from MIPS and aren't "opt-in eligible" because they fall below all 3 of the low-volume threshold criteria may choose to voluntarily report data for traditional MIPS (no election required for these clinicians) but won't receive a MIPS payment adjustment. Note: MIPS APM Participants who are "opt-in" eligible also have the option to elect to opt-in and report using the APM Performance Pathway (APP). Next Steps Before reporting data, opt-in eligible clinicians and groups who wish to submit data will need to complete an election to opt-in or voluntarily report in MIPS by signing in to the QPP website. Qualified Clinical Data Registries (QCDRs) and Qualified Registries can also submit elections on behalf of these clinicians and groups. Elections can be made once the 2022 MIPS submission period opens on January 3, 2023. For More Information Visit the Reporting Options Overview webpage on the Quality Payment Program website. The 2022 MIPS Opt-In Reporting and Election Process Toolkit will be available on the QPP Resource Library by the start of the submission period. Check Your Initial 2023 MIPS Eligibility on the QPP Website You can now use the QPP Participation Status Tool to check your initial 2023 MIPS eligibility status. Enter your 10-digit National Provider Identifier (NPI) to find out whether you need to participate in MIPS during the 2023 performance year. Low-Volume Threshold Requirements To be eligible to participate in MIPS in 2023, you must: Bill more than $90,000 a year in allowed charges for covered professional services under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (PFS); AND Furnish covered professional services to more than 200 Medicare Part B beneficiaries; AND Provide more than 200 covered professional services under the PFS. If you don't exceed all 3 of the above criteria for the 2023 performance year, you're excluded from MIPS. However, you have the opportunity to opt-in to MIPS and receive a payment adjustment if you meet or exceed 1 or 2, but not all, of the low-volume threshold criteria. Alternatively, you may choose to voluntarily report to MIPS and not receive a payment adjustment if you don't meet any of the low-volume threshold criteria or if you meet some, but not all, of the criteria. Please note, we now evaluate the low-volume threshold for MIPS Alternative Payment Model (APM) participants at the individual or group level, just as we do for participants who aren't in a MIPS APM. We no longer evaluate APM Entities for eligibility against the low-volume threshold. Find Out Today Find out today whether you're currently eligible for (required to participate in) MIPS. Prepare now to earn a positive payment adjustment in 2025 for your 2023 performance. Next Updates to 2023 MIPS Eligibility We'll update the QPP Participation Status Tool in December 2023 with final eligibility for the 2023 MIPS performance. We'll also update the QPP Participation Status Tool to reflect clinicians' QP status 3 times during the performance year. We anticipate these updates to be available in July, October and December 2023.     You're getting this message because you subscribed to get email updates from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
