January 27, 2025

As healthcare providers navigate the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) complexities, staying proactive and informed is essential to avoid penalties and maximize Medicare reimbursements. Whether you’re wrapping up 2024 or planning for 2025, here’s a detailed guide to help you stay on track.

Completing 2024 MIPS Requirements

The 2024 MIPS performance period concluded on December 31, 2024, but there’s still work to do to ensure compliance and secure positive payment adjustments.

Key Deadlines

  • Data Submission Window: Opens on January 2, 2025.
  • Submission Deadline: All 2024 MIPS data must be submitted by March 31, 2025.

Steps to Complete 2024 MIPS

Review Your 2024 Feedback Report
The CMS Feedback Report provides detailed information on your performance in each MIPS category:

  • Quality: Your scores for each reported measure.
  • Cost: An analysis of your Medicare spending compared to peers.
  • Improvement Activities: Credit for activities that enhance patient care.
  • Promoting Interoperability: Performance on data exchange and patient engagement measures.

To access your report:

  • Log in to the Quality Payment Program (QPP) website using your HCQIS Access Roles and Profile (HARP) credentials.
  • Navigate to the “Performance Feedback” section and select the 2024 performance year.
  • Download the report as a PDF or Excel file.

The next steps include reviewing your scores and identifying areas where benchmarks were missed. Use this insight to adjust your 2025 strategy.

Meet Data Completeness Requirements
For 2024, report data for at least 75% of eligible cases for each quality measure. For example, if a measure has 100 eligible cases, report on at least 75.

To ensure compliance:

  • Use your EHR system to verify data completeness.
  • Run regular reports to check for missing or incomplete data.
  • Correct discrepancies before submission.

Ensure Promoting Interoperability Compliance
Confirm your EHR system is CMS-certified and capable of securely exchanging data. Meet key requirements, such as:

  • Providing patients access to their health information.
  • Using secure messaging tools.
  • Reporting e-prescribing and health information exchange measures.

Regularly train your staff to use these tools effectively.

Submit Data Early
Submitting early allows time to address technical issues or errors. Double-check for accuracy and completeness before finalizing.

Why Timely Submission Matters
Submitting complete and accurate data helps you avoid penalties and positions your practice for potential positive payment adjustments. Delays or incomplete submissions can have financial and operational repercussions.

    Planning for 2025 MIPS Success

    Steps to Plan for 2025

    Analyze Your 2024 Results
    Use your 2024 Feedback Report to pinpoint areas where you excelled and areas needing improvement. Focus on:

    • Quality measures with the highest and lowest scores.
    • Cost performance compared to benchmarks.
    • Completion of all improvement activities.
    • Any Promoting Interoperability measures missed.

    The next steps include improving low-scoring areas and maintaining strengths.

    Select the Right Measures

    • Choose quality measures and improvement activities that align with your practice’s goals and patient population.
    • Prioritize measures where you can achieve high performance and that are meaningful to your specialty.

    For example, if your practice specializes in cardiology, focus on measures like blood pressure control and cholesterol management.

    Leverage Certified Technology

    • Ensure your EHR system is updated to meet 2025 CMS requirements.
    • Use built-in dashboards to monitor performance in real time.
    • Work with your EHR vendor to optimize workflows and troubleshoot issues.

    Engage Patients and Staff

    • Train your team on MIPS requirements and involve them in meeting goals.
    • Encourage patients to use online portals and train staff on collecting and reporting data accurately.
    • Create incentives for staff to meet performance targets.

    Monitor Progress Regularly

    • Set up monthly or quarterly reviews to track your performance in each MIPS category.
    • Use these reviews to identify trends, address gaps early, and adjust your strategy as needed.
