The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has released calendar year (CY) 2023 Quality Payment Program (QPP) performance information for clinicians, groups, virtual groups, and Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). This data is now available in the Provider Data Catalog (PDC) and on clinician and group profile pages in the Medicare.gov Care Compare tool. The publicly reported information includes final Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) scores across each performance category, the names of Advanced Alternative Payment Models (APMs), and the clinicians participating in them. Performance is displayed using measure-level star ratings, percent performance scores, and check marks, giving patients and caregivers a clear, easy-to-understand view of clinician performance.
Medicare patients and caregivers can use the Care Compare tool to search for and compare clinicians and groups enrolled in Medicare, empowering them to make informed decisions and access the right care from the right clinician. CMS has also made several supporting resources available to provide additional details on the CY 2023 performance information, including the
