The data submission period for the 2018 Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) closed on April 2. If you submitted data through the Quality Payment Program (QPP) website, you can review your preliminary performance feedback data. Your final score and feedback will be available in July. Between now and June 30, your score could change based on:

  • Special status scoring considerations
  • All-cause readmission measure for the quality performance category
  • Claims measures to include the 60-day run out period
  • CAHPS for MIPS survey results
  • Advancing care information hardship application status
  • Improvement study participation and results
  • Creation of performance period benchmarks for quality measures that didn’t have an historical benchmark
