CMS Updates 2020 MIPs Performance Year Feedback

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced updates relevant to final scores for the 2020 performance year, resulting in changes to bonus payment adjustments applied in 2022. CMS identified two calculation errors related to bonus points for those in Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) ACO’s and who submitted patient-reported outcome measures. As a result, impacted participants will see higher scores and more providers now qualify for the ‘exceptional performer’ increase to positive payment adjustments. Due to the budget neutral nature of the program, this also means that others will see a decrease in the original payment adjustment released earlier this year.
