Abstract:
CMS is requesting clearance to implement the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Survey for the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). 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 the MIPS for eligible clinicians. In the MIPS Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM), we propose to allow registered groups of two or more MIPS eligible clinicians to voluntarily elect to participate in the CAHPS for MIPS survey. The CAHPS for MIPS survey would count as one cross-cutting and/or a patient experience measure, and the group would be required to submit at least five other measures through one other data submission mechanisms. We propose the data collected on the CAHPS for MIPS survey measures would be transmitted to CMS via a CMS-approved survey vendor.
