  4. Change in Scoring for Pathology Practices Reporting MIPS via Claims

Small practices who are working with their billing companies to submit data for MIPS via Medicare Part B claims should be aware of a recent change in scoring for their measures. For 2024, the Medicare Part B claims version of measure QID 396, Lung Cancer Reporting (Resection Specimens), no longer has a benchmark. That means practices submitting on this measure via claims will earn at most 3 points on this measure no matter their performance score.

It is not too late to enroll in the Pathologists Quality Registry and access higher-scoring measures that are only available in the registry. If interested, practices should contact registry.inquiries@cap.org.
