Federal CMS announces relief for clinicians participating in the Quality Payment Program in 2020
|
In response to the 2019 Coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is announcing flexibilities for clinicians participating in the Quality Payment Program (QPP) Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) in 2020: Clinicians significantly impacted by the public health emergency may submit an "Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances Application" to re-weight any or all of the MIPS performance categories. Those requesting relief via the application will need to provide a justification of how their practice has been significantly impacted by the public health emergency. The deadline for individual clinicians and group practices is Dec. 31, 2020. Visit the
QPP COVID-19 Response webpage
or review the
COVID-19 Fact Sheet (link downloads a PDF)
