Pathologists Quality Registry

Getting paid fairly should not be the hardest part of your job.

About the Pathologists Quality Registry

As a pathologist, you have an ever-increasing list of responsibilities, and spending time to make sure you get paid for the value you provide—knowing that your hours would be better spent enhancing the quality of patient care—can feel a little unfair.

The College of American Pathologists’ (CAP) Pathologists Quality Registry has you covered. The CAP has invested in resources and experts in the field who work to anticipate what pathologists require to succeed in the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). Together, we help pathologists get paid equitably for their services through advocacy, development of quality measures that optimize scores, and platforms that ease compliance.

Pathologists Need to Pay Attention to MIPS Thresholds

We understand that no practice wants to deal with payment issues—we know that’s not why you became a pathologist in the first place. Enroll in the Pathologists Quality Registry and we can help you find the MIPS reporting option that best fits your practice so you can avoid any unnecessary penalties, and get paid what you’re worth.

 

How Your MIPS Score Could Be Affected

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has finalized MIPS scoring for 2026. CMS made few programmatic changes this year, but meeting the MIPS threshold was already difficult for pathologists, so avoiding a reimbursement penalty remains a challenge in 2026.

MIPS Performance Year20252026
MIPS Performance Threshold75 points75 points
Data Completeness Threshold75%75%
Bonus Points for Small Practices6 points6 points
Quality Measure Scoring floor0 points0 point

Practices should carefully consider their 2026 reporting strategy, including utilizing the high-scoring CAP QCDR measures to maximize their scores. Contact mips@cap.org for more information.

Small Pathology Practices

MIPS category scores are weighted equally, but that might not be enough.

Large Pathology Practices

MIPS scoring floors are lower and it’s hard to meet thresholds.
