Physicians are encouraged to review their final Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) payment adjustment information for the 2024 performance period/2026 MIPS payment year. The scores were recently released by the Centers for Medicare & Medicare Services (CMS). If you believe an error has been made, you may request a Targeted Review until November 14, 2025, at 8:00 p.m. ET. The 2024 MIPS final score determines the MIPS payment adjustment physicians will receive in 2026. A positive, negative, or neutral payment adjustment will be applied to the Medicare paid amount for covered professional services furnished in 2026.

CMS has stated they are still accepting and reviewing Targeted Reviews during the government shutdown. However, their response time may be affected.
