GAO Report on MIPS
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) last week published a report evaluating the Merit-based MIPS PROGRAM BACKGROUND
RESULTS OF GAO MIPS ANALYSIS How did Medicare physicians fare on the MIPS program? GAO writes:
STAKEHOLDER FEEDBACK Unsurprisingly, provider groups welcomed more flexibility. For instance, some provider groups received exemptions from reporting along certain dimensions (e.g., radiologists and pathologists did not have to report “promoting interoperability”). Smaller provider groups also appreciated the “small practice bonus” and the low volume threshold which exempted the smallest providers from MIPS participation. Key critiques include: that feedback was not timely or meaningful to many providers.
MIPS VALUE PATHWAY (MVP) To address some challenges, CMS’s 2022 proposed rule plans to implement the MIPS Value Pathway (MVP) in performance year 2023.
The MVP framework would also standardize performance measurement across selected specialties, medical conditions, or episodes of care. A more cohesive set of measures can help reduce the amount of “gaming” the system that providers can do.
