CMS recently published the FY 2026 Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) Proposed Rule which includes several proposed changes to the Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) Program and Medicare Promoting Interoperability (PI) Program for eligible hospitals (EHs) and critical access hospitals (CAHs). For the full text of the rule, see the Federal Register.
CMS’ Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) is a pay-for-performance program where a higher score leads to higher reimbursement. Further, MIPS is a budget neutral program where those receiving a negative payment adjustment fund those receiving a positive payment adjustment. The Complex Patient Bonus can help you achieve a higher score.
