MIPS Final Score Preview: What You Need to Know

What Is Final Score Preview? 

The Final Score Preview is a crucial phase of the MIPS performance feedback process. During this time, clinicians can preview their final score before the release of payment adjustment information. Separated into two phases, the preview period allows clinicians to request a review or apply for an exception if necessary. The purpose of the Final Score Preview is to provide clinicians with more transparency and improve the feedback process based on past experiences. The hope is to ensure that your final score is as accurate as possible by identifying any potential issues before payment adjustments are calculated. 

What Data Is Available During the Final Score Preview Period? 

During the Final Score Preview, performance feedback will display data associated with your highest final score that could be attributed to you, your group, or your Alternative Payment Model (APM) Entity. This data includes performance category-level scores and weights, bonus points, measure-level performance data and scores, and activity-level scores. This information is vital in identifying areas that need improvement in your MIPS performance. Final Score Preview doesn’t include payment adjustment information or patient-level reports. 

Why Should You Sign in and Preview Final Scores? 

The Final Score Preview is the only time to see how your performance scores will impact your payment adjustment before it's too late. Taking this opportunity to review your scores can help ensure that there are no errors or mistakes that could alter your payment adjustment. Catching any inaccuracies early on gives you the chance to correct them to optimize your payment adjustment.
