Last Day to File a Targeted Review to Appeal Errors in Your 2018 MIPS Performance Feedback Report for the CMS Quality Payment Program (QPP)
Physicians should check their 2018 Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) performance feedback and 2020 Medicare payment adjustment as soon as possible in case the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) made mistakes when calculating the data, which happened last year. A mistake would affect the amount of your Medicare bonus or cut next year, or worse, result in a cut when you should receive a bonus. And because MIPS scores also are reported annually on the Physician Compare website, you’ll want to ensure CMS got it right. If you find errors, request a “targeted review” by Sept. 30. That means CMS will review your information again and make corrections accordingly.

Your 2018 MIPS final score will determine whether you receive a bonus or cut of up to 5%, which will be applied to your Medicare payments for covered professional services furnished under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (on a per-claim basis) next year.
The Texas Medical Association recommends that you not rely on MIPS-related vendors to tell you how you fared. To the extent possible, take control of your MIPS information. You should review your own MIPS data to inform quality improvement efforts in your practice and to help you select the right MIPS measures and improvement activities for 2019 and future years of the program. For general questions, contact the QPP Service Center at (866) 288-8292 or QPP@cms.hhs.gov. For free help on how to interpret your performance feedback and final score or how to request a targeted review, contact MIPS experts at TMF Health Quality Institute at (844) 317-7609 or email QPP-SURS@tmf.org.
