2023 Performance Year
We recognize that not all practices are impacted by COVID-19 to the same extent and many practices will be able to participate. However, we also want to ensure there is relief available to clinicians who are unable to participate.
For the 2023 performance year, we'll continue to use our Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances (EUC) application to allow clinicians, groups, and virtual groups to request reweighting of one or more MIPS performance categories due to COVID-19. The application is now available and will close at 8 p.m. ET on January 2, 2024.
You can subscribe to the QPP listserv to receive updates and announcements. If you have questions, you can contact the QPP Service Center at 1-866-288-8292, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. ET or by email at: QPP@cms.hhs.gov. People who are deaf or hard of hearing can dial 711 to be connected to a TRS Communications Assistant.
