The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has opened the Final Score Preview period for the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). Authorized representatives of practices, virtual groups, and Alternative Payment Model (APM) Entities can now sign into the Quality Payment Program (QPP) website to preview MIPS final scores for the CY 2023 performance period (2023 MIPS final scores).
The MIPS Final Score Preview period is available until final performance feedback, including payment adjustments, is released in August 2024.
The MIPS Final Score Preview period provides clinicians with the opportunity to preview their final score prior to the release of payment adjustment information. As a reminder, your 2023 MIPS final score is what will determine your 2025 MIPS payment adjustment.
We encourage you to sign in and preview final scores now and to contact the QPP Service Centerwith questions or concerns.
During the Final Score Preview, performance feedback displays data associated with the highest final score that could be attributed to the clinician, group or APM Entity, and all the data required to calculate final scores, which includes:
Performance category-level scores and weights
Bonus points
Measure-level performance data and scores
Activity-level scores
You'll also have the opportunity to review supplemental reports for administrative claims-based measures for the quality and cost performance categories.
As a reminder, Final Score Preview doesn't include payment adjustment information.
MIPS Final Score Preview is accessible to clinicians and authorized representatives of practices, virtual groups, and APM Entities (including Shared Savings Program ACOs), whether they reported traditional MIPS, a MIPS Value Pathway (MVP), or the APM Performance Pathway (APP).
Practice representatives with the Staff User or Security Official role can preview MIPS final scores from individual, group and subgroup participation (depending on how the practice participated).
APM Entity representatives with the Staff User or Security Official role can preview MIPS final scores for their APM Entity.
If you're a Medicare Shared Savings Program Accountable Care Organization's (ACO) QPP Security Official or QPP Staff User contact in the ACO Management System (ACO-MS), then you can preview the ACO's MIPS final score by signing in to the QPP website using your ACO-MS username and password.
Virtual group representatives with the Staff User or Security Official role can preview MIPS final scores from virtual group participation.
Individual clinicians with the Clinician role can preview their final score from individual, group, virtual group, or APM Entity participation.
