2022 Performance Year Quality Payment Program Participation and Performance Data Available

Last week, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released participation and performance data for the 2022 performance year of the Quality Payment Program (QPP), including both Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and Alternative Payment Model (APM) participation. The following resources are now available:

• The 2022 QPP Participation and Performance Results At-a-Glance provides a snapshot of aggregated data for key QPP program metrics, including a high-level overview of participation, scoring, and payment adjustment information.

It includes an expansive set of aggregated program metrics on participation, performance category scoring, final scores, and payment adjustment factors.
• The 2022 QPP Public Use File includes clinician-level data at the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)/National Provider Identifier (NPI) level regarding clinician eligibility, measure level scoring, performance category scoring, final scores, and payment adjustment factors.
