Re: Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) Quality Measures
Dear Administrator Oz:
On behalf of the undersigned organizations, we write to express our concerns and continued frustration with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) process for reviewing and selecting quality measures for its programs. There is an urgent need for CMS to consider and accept more measures into the Merit Based Incentive Payment (MIPS) program to better ensure alignment with the growing number of episode-based cost measures, alternative payment models (APMs) and other quality and certification programs. In addition, new measures would further equip patients with usable quality information and provide physicians with the opportunity to be successful in CMS’ quality programs and APMs. If these gaps are not filled, we believe that the future of the program is in further jeopardy, specifically the transition and adoption of meaningful MIPS Value Pathways (MVPs).
