Click to Enlarge
The Centers for Medicare & Medicare Services (CMS) has released Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) payment adjustment information for the 2024 performance period/2026 MIPS payment year. Physicians’ 2024 MIPS final score determines the MIPS payment adjustment physicians will receive in 2026. A positive, negative, or neutral payment adjustment will be applied to the Medicare paid amount for covered professional services furnished in 2026. The AMA encourages physicians to review their final score as soon as possible as the deadline to file a Targeted Review is only open until November 14, 2025.
The AMA has sought clarification from CMS, and they are still accepting and reviewing Targeted Reviews during the government shutdown. However, some decisions may be delayed due to the need for broader CMS staff review, and some staff are furloughed. There are no plans currently to extend the targeted review period.
