For the first time, we've been assigned a Cost Score that equates to 30% of our final MIPS 2022 score. This has seriously impacted our final positive payment adjustment and is nothing that we can control from a professional read perspective. Cost was waived in prior years and I'm curious if other practices are seeing COST including in their final MIPS score. If you don't know, you may want to check. Was this published, and considering we cannot impact cost (my opinion), what recourse do we have?
I'll open an appeal, but please share with us any resources you have on this subject. Cost Measures that impacted our practice was Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary (MSPB) Clinician and Total Per Capita Cost (TPCC).
The RBMA has to jump on this quickly, any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.
