Section 1848(q) of the Social Security
Act, as amended by section 101 of the Medicare Access and CHIP
Reauthorization Act of 2015, authorizes the establishment of a
Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) for eligible
clinicians. Beginning in CY 2017, eligible clinicians are required
to collect and submit data on four performance categories to CMS
(quality, cost, advancing care information and improvement
activities). This program replaces and consolidates portions of the
PQRS, Value-based Modifier, and the Medicare EHR Incentive Program.
The Act also establishes a second track, Advanced Alternative
Payment Models (APMs) for clinicians to participate in instead of
MIPS.

The burden associated with the
policies and information collections for the CY 2022 performance
period/CY 2024 MIPS payment year has been removed since the
information will no longer be collected by or reported from
clinicians for the Quality Payment Program in the CY 2023
performance period/2025 MIPS payment year. The currently approved
burden estimate for the policies and information collections in the
CY 2023 performance period/2025 MIPS payment year was set forth in
the CY 2022 PFS final rule and have changed due to new statutes and
program adjustments as set forth in this CY 2023 PFS proposed
rule.
