In the 2020 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Final Rule released by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services late last year, several changes were made to the value-based Quality Payment Program (QPP) to simplify the rules for providers. These updates will “impact more than 1 million clinicians eligible for one or both of the QPP’s two performance tracks, the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and the Advanced Alternative Payment Models (APMs). CMS estimates that 880,000 clinicians will be MIPS-eligible in 2020, and between 210,000 and 270,000 clinicians will achieve Qualifying APM Participant (QP) status in 2020.”
