2023 Call for MIPS Quality and Cost Measures is Open The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) encourages you to submit quality and cost measures for consideration for future years of the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). The MIPS Annual Call for Quality and Cost Measures process allows clinicians, professional associations, and medical societies that represent clinicians, researchers, consumer groups, and others to identify and submit measures. Currently, we're accepting submissions for:   Measures for the quality performance category; and Measures for the cost performance category. The 2023 Annual Call for Quality and Cost Measures is from January 30, 2023, to May 19, 2023. Interested parties can submit quality and cost measures for CMS consideration by completing the required fields and submitting applicable measure specifications and all supporting data files via the CMS Measures Under Consideration Entry/Review Information Tool (MERIT) by 8 p.m. ET on May 19, 2023. Candidate measures that are submitted via CMS MERIT and subsequently included on the Measures Under Consideration (MUC) List will be part of the pre-rulemaking process. The timeframe for candidate measures to be considered for inclusion in MIPS is a two-year process. Only candidate quality and cost measures submitted by May 19, 2023, will be considered for inclusion in the MIPS quality or cost performance categories.
