Abstract:
CMS is requesting clearance to implement a revised 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. The CAHPS for MIPS survey counts for one measure towards the MIPS quality performance category, and groups of two or more MIPS eligible clinicians can voluntarily elect to participate in the CAHPS for MIPS survey as one of their six required quality measures as finalized in the CY 2017 Quality Payment Program final rule. The use of a CAHPS survey (including the CAHPS for MIPS survey) would be counted as a high- weighted activity under the improvement activities performance category. We are requesting approval to use a revised, shorter version of the CAHPS for MIPS survey that will maintain or improve reliability while reducing beneficiary burden.
