Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS)
The Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) replaced the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) on January 1, 2017. The goal of the MIPS program is to improve patient care and satisfaction, reduce costs, and increase communication between providers.
Reporting MIPS Measures
Audiology MIPS measures are most commonly reported through the CMS-1500 claim form. By participating in MIPS, audiologists provide support for the efficacy of audiology services as part of the patient continuum of care.
