PROPOSED RULE
APM Scoring Standard
The APM scoring standard applies to APMs that meet these criteria:
APM Entities participate in the APM under an agreement with CMS;
APM Entities include one or more MIPS eligible clinicians on a
Participation List; and
APM bases payment incentives on performance (either at the APM
Entity or eligible clinician level) on cost/utilization and quality
measures.
To be considered part of the APM Entity for the APM scoring standard, an eligible
clinician must be on an APM Participation List on December 31 of the MIPS
performance year.
Otherwise an eligible clinician must report to MIPS under the standard MIPS
methods.
