MIPS 2020 Performance Year
Final Score
An eligible clinician's (EC's) performance in each of the four Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) components makes up the EC's MIPS final score, determining the EC's payment adjustment. Payment adjustments can be positive, negative, or neutral. A single MIPS final score will factor in performance in the four categories on a 0 to 100 point scale. Each MIPS component is weighted differently in calculating the MIPS final score.

Payment Adjustments
Payment adjustments are applied based on an EC's performance two years prior to the calendar year. Therefore, an EC who is a MIPS participant in 2020 will receive a payment adjustment in 2022 based on 2020 data. For 2020 MIPS participants, a maximum of a 9 percent payment adjustment is possible in calendar year 2022.

Payment Adjustments
Payment adjustments are applied based on an EC’s performance two years prior to the calendar year. Therefore, an EC who is a MIPS participant in 2018 will receive a payment adjustment in 2020 based on 2018 data. For 2018 MIPS participants, a maximum of a 5 percent payment adjustment is possible in calendar year 2020.
