Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) eligible clinicians who participated in the 2023 performance year of the Quality Payment Program (QPP) now have until April 15 at 7 pm Central to submit their data, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced on March 12.
The extension is announced amid ongoing concern with the impact the Change Healthcare cybersecurity attack is having on physician practices. The attack on the nation’s healthcare infrastructure coincides with the 2023 MIPS data submission window, which opened on January 2 and originally was scheduled to close on April 1.
The AMA welcomes the extension, but is concerned the timeline is insufficient. The AMA plans to continue to push CMS to automatically apply the Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances (EUC) hardship exception to all MIPS eligible clinicians for the 2023 performance period. At the same time, the AMA will encourage CMS to reopen the hardship exception application for the 2023 performance period and allow eligible clinicians to claim an exception due to the Change Healthcare cyberattack.

Submit your MIPS data for the 2023 performance year or review the data reported on your behalf by a third party. (You can’t correct errors with your data after the submission period, so it’s important to make sure the data submitted on your behalf is accurate.)
