CMS Makes Merit-Based Incentive Payment System Updates Following Physician Concerns

November 10, 2021

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is making updates to a popular Quality Payment Program amid “prevailing concerns” from the physician community.

CMS just recently released final scores and feedback on provider performance in the Merit-based Incentive Payment System. During the regular review period, clinicians alerted the agency about two errors as part of the process, according to an update posted Sept. 27.

As such, CMS is now correcting MIPS scoring, resulting in changes to providers’ performance feedback, which include 2020 final scores and 2022 payment adjustments.
