The time has come to report your 2018 Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) performance data to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and begin collecting your data for 2019.
The CMS portal is now open and will accept 2018 MIPS data until Tuesday, April 2. You must submit data by the Tuesday, April 2, deadline to avoid a negative 5% Medicare Part B payment adjustment in 2020.
Additionally, you should plan to begin collecting quality data for the 2019 performance period beginning in January. The American Academy of Family Physicains offers a variety of resources to help you navigate the MIPS path, including the new 2019 MIPS Playbook.
Don’t wait! Submit your MIPS data today and remember to check out the 2019 MIPS Playbook to help you stay on track in 2019.
