MACRA MIPS
MIPS, or the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System, is a CMS program that impacts Medicare reimbursement by evaluating healthcare providers on quality, cost, improvement activities, and promoting interoperability of Electronic Health Records. As part of the Quality Payment Program under MACRA, MIPS is designed to improve patient care and lower healthcare costs by rewarding clinicians for high performance and imposing penalties for underperformance. Understanding how MIPS works is essential for healthcare professionals seeking to maximize Medicare payments, avoid penalties, and deliver top-quality, patient-centered care in today’s value-based healthcare environment.
