MIPS Status Must Be Checked Online

Members & Publications

May 10, 2018

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued a notice that physician practices/groups may now log into the CMS QPP website to check their 2018 eligibility for Medicare’s Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS).

CMS will not be sending out letters to advise physicians of their eligibility status this year so checking on the QPP participation status look-up tool is the only way to determine or verify eligibility status.

Eligibility rules in 2018 are different than in 2017 so status this year may be different than last. The look-up tool can be found at https://qpp.cms.gov/participation-lookup.

Learn more about MIPS and how you can meet all of your requirements with the Academy's Registry.   

Legislation Introduced to Alleviate Impact of Conversion Factor Cut for 2021

Nov 09, 2020

Last month, two bills were introduced in the House proposing solutions to the estimated 10.6% Physician Fee Schedule conversion factor cut expected to go into effect January 1, 2021.  The bills offer some relief to the cut, but do not reflect a comprehensive or long-term solution.  AAPM&R has therefore chosen to remain neutral regarding these bills. 

Your Academy continues to advocate for a permanent solution to the conversion factor cut while maintaining the important payment increases to office and outpatient evaluation and management services.
