Emergency clinician participation and performance in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services merit-based incentive payment system.
Investigators sought to describe participation in the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and to examine differences in performance scores and payment adjustments based on reporting affiliation and reporting strategy. They found that clinicians reporting as individuals earned lower overall MIPS scores than those reporting within groups and MIPS alternative payment models (APMs) and more frequently incurred penalties with a negative payment adjustment. The authors concluded that emergency clinician participation is common, with one in four participating through MIPS APMs. Additionally, those employing specific strategies such as group reporting received the highest MIPS scores and payment adjustments, emphasizing the role that reporting strategy and affiliation play in the quality of care.
