How CMS wants to update the QPP
This year, we expected to see CMS propose few QPP updates, and ease up on several policies in response to Covid-19—like the timeline of the MIPS Value Pathways rollout. What we didn’t expect was the changes to ACO quality reporting requirements and elimination of the MIPS APM scoring standard as early as 2021.
