On August 10, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released 2022 MIPS performance feedback, which determines whether physicians will receive a positive, neutral or negative payment adjustment on Medicare services furnished in 2024.
The AMA has heard alarming reports of physicians facing MIPS penalties in 2024 for the first time since the program started.
Physicians can view their 2022 MIPS Performance Feedback information on the Quality Payment Program (QPP) website using their HCQIS Access Role and Profile (HARP) credentials. The CMS Payment Adjustment User Guide (PDF) walks through the process of accessing and downloading performance feedback.
The AMA strongly encourages physicians to view this information as soon as possible for two reasons:
If there are any errors, you should consider submitting an appeal, also called a targeted review. For more information about how to request a targeted review, refer to the 2022 Targeted Review User Guide (PDF). The deadline to submit a targeted review is 7 pm Central Time on October 9, 2023.
You can help the AMA advocate against Medicare physician payment cuts in 2024 by sharing this information. If you feel comfortable, you can share de-identified score and corresponding payment adjustment information. This will inform the AMA’s understanding of the impact of MIPS on physician payment in 2024 and can help them in their conversations with the administration and Congress about ensuring physician payment supports high-quality care to Medicare patients. Please share your information by emailing the AMA Advocacy staff.
If you have questions, reach out to Jennifer Hananoki or Koryn Rubin.
