Merit-based Incentive Payment System Reporting Guide

This guide outlines the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) reporting requirements for registered dietitians and nutrition professionals for the 2025 performance year. It details the necessity for eligible clinicians to report data across various performance categories, including quality, improvement activities, and promoting interoperability. The guide specifies the exceptions to reporting requirements and provides information on how performance will be scored, which ranges from 0 to 100 points. The final MIPS score will determine the payment adjustment clinicians receive, categorized as negative, neutral, or positive based on their performance. Additionally, the document describes the three reporting options available: Traditional MIPS, MIPS Value Pathways, and APM Performance Pathway, each with distinct requirements and measures. It emphasizes the importance of selecting appropriate quality measures and outlines the data collection process necessary to meet the reporting standards effectively.
