CMS invites all Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) reporting practices to share their experiences with MVP reporting.
Whether you have reported an MVP for Payment Year (PY) 2025, are preparing to report for PY 2026, or have not yet begun adopting an MVP, your feedback is valuable. We welcome input from practices regardless of previous participation methods.
Who Should Participate?
Practices that reported an MVP for PY 2025.
Practices working toward reporting an MVP for PY 2026.
Practices that have not started MVP adoption.
Your insight will help us enhance the MVP reporting process, identify strengths and challenges, and guide future improvements.
Survey Details
The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.
Participation is voluntary and confidential.
Responses will be reported in aggregate to protect the identity of individuals, groups, and entities. Eligible clinicians may receive Improvement Activity (IA) credit for completing the survey.
We anticipate publishing the MIPS final scores for the 2025 performance year by late September. At that time, the Targeted Review period will open, allowing you to request a review if needed. MIPS payment adjustments for the 2027 payment year will be released approximately one month after the release of final scores. The Targeted Review period will close 30 days after the release of MIPS payment adjustments. You can continue to access your measure and activity-level scores for the data reported during the submission period. Performance period benchmarks are part of final scoring and will only become available once final scores are released. Once published, we’ll announce the release of 2025 final scores through the QPP listserv.
In the meantime, we encourage you to confirm your MIPS eligibility and review the following scoring resources so that you’re prepared to understand your scores when they’re released.
To confirm your eligibility for a MIPS payment adjustment, enter your National Provider Identifier (NPI) on the QPP Participation Status tool (check “PY 2025”) or sign in to the QPP website and navigate to the Eligibility & Reporting page on the left-hand navigation panel. Review “The Basics: Check Your Eligibility” section of the 2025 MIPS Eligibility and Participation Guide (PDF), starting on p. 15, for more information.
When we release 2025 performance feedback (including your 2025 MIPS final score), we’ll also archive resources and reports from the 2022 performance year. The following will no longer be publicly accessible:
QPP website pages (including the QPP Participation Status tool), resources in the Resource Library, and webinars in the Webinar Library for the 2022 performance year.
Detailed performance feedback and submission information for performance year 2022 (currently accessible in the "Performance Feedback” tab when you sign in to the QPP website).
Detailed eligibility information, including Alternative Payment Models (APM) Participant Lists for performance year 2022 (currently accessible in the “Eligibility & Reporting” tab when you sign in to the QPP website).
The following webpages, resources, and reports won’t be archived and will remain publicly accessible:
Calendar Year 2022 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Proposed and Final Rules (which covers QPP policymaking) will continue to be accessible on the Federal Register.
2022 performance year/2024 MIPS payment year Payment Adjustment reports will continue to be available; these will be accessible in “Reports” when you sign in to the QPP website. (These reports identify all of the clinicians in your practice, virtual group, or APM Entity for a given performance year, along with their final scores and associated MIPS payment adjustment.)
To download a copy of your 2022 submission report (all submitted data) and the clinicians associated with your practice during the 2022 performance year before they’re archived:
The CY 2027 PFS Proposed Rule includes proposals for the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and Advanced Alternative Payment Models (APMs), as well as several Requests for Information (RFIs).
Specifically, we’re proposing policies that:
Move towards the full implementation of MIPS Value Pathways (MVPs).
Focus on prevention and wellness in patient care.
Reduce administrative burden.
Promote more meaningful participation that drives quality and value.
2027 Policy Proposal Highlights
Key QPP policies that we are proposing in the CY 2027 Medicare PFS Proposed Rule include:
Sunsetting the traditional MIPS reporting option after the 2028 performance year.
Introducing 3 new MVPs for the 2027 performance year that are related to diabetic disease, hypertension, and hospitalists, and modifying all 27 previously finalized MVPs.
Replacing the outcome/high priority measure requirement for the quality category with a new MIPS core measure requirement.
Revising the MIPS Promoting Interoperability performance category reporting requirements in the CY 2026, 2027, and 2028 reporting periods.
Modifying the APM Performance Pathway Plus (APP Plus) quality measurement set and introducing a new collection type: Medicare Electronic Clinical Quality Measures for Accountable Care Organizations Participating in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (Medicare eCQMs).
Applying Qualifying APM Participant (QP) and Partial QP determinations at the Taxpayer Identification Number/National Provider Identifier (TIN/NPI) level instead of the NPI level.
Overview of RFIs
We are also seeking feedback on RFIs about the following topics:
The future transition to FHIR-based digital quality reporting for QPP including the overall transition timeline, key milestones, and implementation considerations.
Whether we should consider MVP score normalization within an MVP to ensure scoring fairness across MVPs.
Improvements and alternative options to the current star rating assignment methodology for quality measure scores collected under the administrative claims collection type.
