- Pathologists Feedback Wanted on MIPS Payment Penalty Experiences
The CAP is asking its members for details about their own experiences with payment penalties and positive adjustments from Medicare’s Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). Compiling this information is crucial to understand the scope of the MIPS payment adjustment in 2024 for the CAP’s advocacy efforts to stop physician fee schedule payment cuts. On August 10, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) made available 2022 MIPS performance feedback, which determines whether physicians will receive a positive, neutral, or negative payment adjustment on Medicare services furnished in 2024. Pathologists can view this information on the Quality Payment Program (QPP) website using their HCQIS Access Role and Profile (HARP) credentials. The CMS Payment Adjustment User Guide details the process of accessing and downloading performance feedback. We encourage you to view this information as soon as possible. If there are any errors, you should consider submitting an appeal, also called a targeted review. The deadline to submit a targeted review is October 9, 2023. For more information about how to request a targeted review, please refer to the 2022 Targeted Review User Guide. If you feel comfortable, we request that you share de-identified score and corresponding payment adjustment information with the CAP. This will inform our understanding of the impact of MIPS on physician payment in 2024 and can help us in our conversations with the Administration and Congress about ensuring physician payment supports high-quality care to Medicare patients. Please share your information by emailing us mips@cap.org.
