- CMS Extends MIPS Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances Deadline to March 3, 2023
The CMS announced late in 2022 that it has extended the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances application to March 3, 2023. By extending the deadline, the CMS allowed pathologists, groups, and alternative payment model entities to request the reweighting of MIPS performance categories due to the ongoing COVID-19 public health emergency.
The deadline for applications citing COVID-19 as the triggering event is 8 PM ET on Friday, March 3, 2023. Please note that applications received between January 3 and March 3, 2023, will not override submitted data for individuals, groups, and virtual groups.
