Before we put MIPS 2021 to bed for the year, better pay attention to this cautionary tale, or you can end up on CMS’s naughty list despite having been nice all year long. This is a tale of misinformation and confusion that involves two issues impacting your Promoting Interoperability category score and hence your MIPS score.
MIPS 2022: A Steep Climb Just to Avoid Penalty
MIPS 2022 “Final” Rule was issued by CMS on November 2, 2021. The Rule includes substantive revisions to the current MIPS program and information on the new MIPS Value Pathways (MVPs). After reviewing the MIPS 2022 Final Rule, we can say that 2022 will be a year where the guidance of a MIPS expert will be needed more than ever. Let us give you the lay of this modified MIPS land and point at the most significant upcoming changes for MIPS 2022 so you can get a headstart on your MIPS 2022 success strategy.

MIPS 2021 Proposed Rule: The Road Ahead
CMS released the MIPS 2021 Proposed Rule pertaining to the requirement on August 3rd, 2020. As with the 2019 MIPS Performance Year, the COVID-19 crisis has figured into CMS decision making on what to include in the MIPS 2021 performance year. However, it is evident from the proposed rule that the MIPS program is not going away and will maintain significant negative payment adjustments for non-participation. This blog summarizes the proposed rule for MIPS which is subject to change at time of the final release.
5 Tips to Select a MIPS Registry
