MIPS Value Pathways (MVP) Registration Open for the 2023 MIPS Performance Period

The Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) Value Pathways (MVPs) registration window is open for the 2023 MIPS Performance Year until November 30, 2023. MVPs are a new, voluntary pathway for meeting MIPS reporting requirements. Each MVP includes a subset of measures and activities that are related to a specialty or condition. Surgeons should visit the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid’s (CMS’) MVP Website to review MVPs available for the 2023 Performance Year and determine if the MVP applies to your practice.

Should you determine to participate in an MVP in 2023, CMS recommends identifying the following things prior to beginning MVP registration:

1. The MVP you plan to report.
2. Whether you plan to administer the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) for MIPS Survey, if it’s a quality measure option in your selected MVP.
3. Whether you want to be evaluated on an outcomes-based administrative claims quality measure, if it’s a quality measure option in your selected MVP.
4. The population health measure you would like to be evaluated on:
   1. 2023 Hospital-Wide All-Cause Unplanned Readmission Measure (ZIP, 703KB) or
   2. 2023 Clinician and Clinician Group Risk-standardized Hospital Admission Rates for Patients with Multiple Chronic Conditions (ZIP, 0.98MB)
5. The participation option you plan to use: group, subgroup, individual, or APM Entity.

To register, you must complete a form providing all the information for you MVP, the 2023 MVP Registration Form can be found in the 2023 MVP Registration Form and Fact Sheet. Registrations for individual, group, and subgroup participation in MVPs must be submitted by a representative of your practice with the QPP Security Official role, refer to the QPP Access User Guide for information about obtaining a Security Official role for your organization.
