MIPS Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances Exception Application Deadline Extended to February 1, 2021



For the 2020 performance year, MIPS eligible clinicians, groups, and virtual groups can submit an application to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) asking the agency to re-weight one or more performance categories to 0% due to the COVID-19 public health emergency. This means if you have concerns about the impact of the COVID-19 public health emergency on your performance data – including cost measures – you can submit an application to CMS and cite COVID-19 as the reason for your application.

CMS has recently announced that it will be extending the deadline for COVID-19-related 2020 Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances Exception applications to February 1, 2021.

If you have concerns about the effect the COVID-19 public health emergency will have on your performance data for the 2020 performance period, including cost measures,  submit an application now and make sure you cite COVID-19 as the reason for your application. The deadline to submit a MIPS Promoting Interoperability Performance Category Hardship Exception application or an Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances application not related to COVID-19 remained December 31, 2020. If you are already exempt from reporting Promoting Interoperability data, you don’t need to apply.

Once you have an approved application, you can still receive scores for the Quality, Improvement Activities and Promoting Interoperability performance categories if you submit data. If the Cost performance category is included in your approved application, you will not be scored on cost measures even if other data are submitted. It is important to note that you cannot submit an application to override data for program year 2020 that has already been submitted and any data submitted either before or after an application has been approved will be scored.

  1. I am so Happy to be writing this article here, i am here to explore a blog forum about the wonderful and most safe cure for HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS . I was positive about the deadly Virus called HERPES and I lost hope completely because I was rejected even by my closest friends. I searched online to know and inquire about a cure for HERPES and I saw Dr.USELU testimony online on how he cured so many people from Herpes Disease so I decided to contact the great herbalist because I know that nature has the power to heal everything. I contacted him to know how he can help me and he told me never to worry that he will help me with the natural herbs from God! After 2 days of contacting him, he told me that the cure has been ready and he sent it to me via FEDEX or DHL and it got to me after 4 days! I used the medicine as he instructed me (MORNING and EVENING) and I was cured! it's really like a dream but i’m so happy! That's the reason I decided to also add more comments of Him so that more people can be saved just like me! and if you need his help,contact his Email:(dr.uelucaregvier@gmil.com) you can contact him on WHTASAPP +2347052898482 He said have the herb to cure different cures for any sickness  https://druseluherbalhome.simdif.com/
