2022 MIPS Clinician Preview Period Available
Nov. 30, 2023
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has opened a preview period for clinicians who participated in the 2022 Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and whose measure scores are set to be reported on the Medicare.gov Care Compare tool. Previews of your Care Compare data can be viewed by logging in to the QPP portal.
In order to get a full picture of the MIPS scoring landscape for radiologists, the American College of Radiology® (ACR®) also invites MIPS participants to share scoring data with us using this form. The College will potentially use this data in our advocacy efforts. ACR is especially interested in scoring data from radiology groups who were unexpectedly attributed cost measures in 2022.
If you have any questions about the Care Compare preview period, or would like to discuss your 2022 MIPS scores, contact Zach Smith, ACR Senior Quality Programs Specialist.
