CMS Reweighting 2021 MIPS Cost Performance Category

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recognizes the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic public health emergency (PHE) continued to have on clinicians and the services they provided in the 2021 performance period.

Due to COVID-19’s impact on cost measures, CMS is reweighting the cost performance category from 20% to 0% for the 2021 performance period. The 20% cost performance category weight will be redistributed to other performance categories.

The table for redistribution can be found at: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-42/chapter-IV/subchapter-B/part-414/subpart-O#p-414.1380(c)(2)(ii)(E)

NO action is required by Clinicians as a result of this update.
