Abstract: Section 1848(q) of the Social Security Act, as amended by section 101 of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, authorizes the establishment of a Merit-based Incentive Payment System(MIPS) for eligible clinicians. Beginning in CY 2017, eligible clinicians will be required to collect and submit data on four performance categories to CMS (quality, resource use, advancing care information, and clinical practice improvement activity). This program replaces and consolidates portions of the PQRS, Value-based Modifier, and Medicare EHR Medicare Incentive Program.
