Supporting the Physiatrist, Strengthening the Specialty

CMS recently released Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) performance feedback and final scores for the 2022 performance year and associated MIPS payment adjustment information for the 2024 payment year.  Clinicians may access 2022 MIPS performance feedback, including final scores and 2024 payment adjustment information, on the Quality Payment Program (QPP) website. 

If you believe there is an error in the calculation of your 2024 MIPS payment adjustment, you may request that CMS conduct a “targeted review.”  Targeted review requests must be submitted by October 9, 2023.  Note that final payment adjustments may still change from now through the end of the year depending on the results of these targeted review requests. 

CMS offers various guidance documents that provide additional information on how to access and interpret 2022 MIPS performance feedback, final score, and payment adjustment information, and how to submit a targeted review request.  These documents are available for download through the QPP Resource Library or the links below:

• 2022 MIPS Performance Feedback FAQs – Highlights what performance feedback is, who receives the feedback, and how to access it on the Quality Payment Program website.
• 2024 MIPS Payment Year Payment Adjustment User Guide – Reviews information about the calculation and application of MIPS payment adjustments, and answers frequently asked questions.
• 2022 MIPS Performance Feedback Patient-Level Data Reports Supplement – Reviews the data included, and answers questions about the downloadable patient-level reports included in performance feedback.
