Mark up Your Calendar for MIPS Reporting for PY 2022 with Us!

What’s more, you expect the Quality Payment Program when it is already engaging a huge community of healthcare providers. It has provided two main frameworks for the providers along with various core motives. These frameworks are; the Merit-based Incentive Payment System and Advanced Payment Model. Currently, the two frameworks have been aligned side by side for past years. However, we all are familiar that recently CMS has made MIPS Value Pathways (MVPs) available to clinicians for MIPS reporting 2023. Anyhow, the reason why QPP maintains the defined structure of each pathway is its uniqueness of keeping everything well-organized.

Mainly, CMS doesn’t go with the flow rule. Instead, it provides a comprehensive guideline for each pathway proceeding. All clinicians then appear in the different snapshots accordingly. Till the end of the program, all activities during the performance period make the MIPS participant’s final score.

Before any delay, let’s see what we have done in MIPS 2022 and how QPP has arranged the coming event of the MIPS 2022 program for us. Come on, mark the significant dates and events related to MIPS reporting with us in one go!
