Featured article
Acmeware completes 100% successful submissions for eCQM, PQRS, Hospital IQR, and Joint Commission ORYX using OneView for acute and ambulatory settings.
TL/DR
The CY 2023 QPP Proposed Rule outlines updates across all four MIPS performance categories and introduces new MVPs.
- Five new MVPs proposed, including Advancing Cancer Care and Optimal Care for Kidney Health
- Performance threshold remains at 75 points; 194 quality measures proposed with 9 additions
- Automatic PI reweighting discontinued for NPs, PAs, CRNAs, and CNSs
- PDMP query required (10 points), expanded to Schedules III and IV; TEFCA added as third HIE option
CMS proposed five new MVPs, a 75-point threshold, nine new quality measures, and PI changes including required PDMP query for the 2023 QPP.
Article content
CMS recently published the CY 2023 Quality Payment Program (QPP) Proposed Rule featuring numerous updates to MIPS Value Pathways (MVPs) and Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). For comprehensive details, see the Federal Register.
MIPS Value Pathways (MVPs)
CMS continues advancing MIPS Value Pathways to improve value, reduce burden, inform patient choice in selecting clinicians, and reduce barriers to participation in Alternative Payment Models (APMs).
The 5 newly proposed MVPs for 2023 are:
- Advancing Cancer Care
- Optimal Care for Kidney Health
- Optimal Care for Patients with Episodic Neurological Conditions
- Supportive Care for Neurodegenerative Conditions
- Promoting Wellness
Traditional MIPS
The 2023 MIPS score continues using four performance categories with a 75-point threshold.
Quality
CMS proposes 194 quality measures for 2023, adding 9 new measures including administrative claims measures, composite measures, high-priority measures, and patient-reported outcome measures.
Cost
A maximum 1 percentage point improvement score is established for the cost category.
Improvement Activities
Four new improvement activities are proposed, with 5 modified and 6 removed.
Promoting Interoperability
Beginning 2023, automatic reweighting discontinues for nurse practitioners, physician assistants, certified registered nurse anesthetists, and clinical nurse specialists.
The Public Health and Clinical Data Exchange Objective reduces from 3 to 2 engagement levels. The Query of PDMP becomes required (worth 10 points), expanding to include Schedules III and IV drugs. A third option, Participation in TEFCA, is proposed for the HIE Objective.
