The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) of 2015 enacted a new Medicare payment model to reward physicians and other clinicians for delivering better care, not more care. The MACRA Quality Payment Program (QPP) provides two paths that link payment updates with value-based requirements: The Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and Advanced Alternative Payment Models (A-APM’s). MIPS will begin in performance year 2017, and Eligible Clinicians (ECs) or groups participating in MIPS will receive an upward, downward or neutral payment adjustment starting in 2019.

The Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) is intended to measure – and adjust payments based on – the value of care provided across four categories, with bonuses for meeting exceptional performance thresholds.
