Abstract: The Medicare Advantage Qualifying Payment Arrangement Incentive (MAQI) Demonstration (“the Demonstration”) is designed to test whether excluding clinicians who participate to a sufficient degree in certain payment arrangements with Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAOs) from reporting quality under the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) will increase or maintain participation in payment arrangements with MAOs similar to Advanced Alternative Payment Models (APMs) and change the manner in which clinicians deliver care..
