CY 2023 QPP Performance Information Has Been Released

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has added calendar year (CY) 2023 Quality Payment Program (QPP) performance information for clinicians, groups, virtual groups, and Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) in the Provider Data Catalog (PDC) and on clinician and group profile pages in the Medicare.gov compare tool. CMS is required to report the final scores and performances of Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS)-eligible clinicians under each MIPS performance category and both the names of Advanced Alternative Payment Models (APMs) and of eligible clinicians in Advanced APMs. Performance information for clinicians is displayed using measure-level star ratings, percent performance scores, and check marks.

Medicare patients and caregivers can use the compare tool on Medicare.gov to search for and compare clinicians and groups enrolled in Medicare. Publicly reporting CY 2023 QPP performance information helps empower patients to select and access the right care from the right clinician.

The following documents, available on the Care Compare: Doctors and Clinicians Initiative webpage and in the QPP Resource Library, include details about the CY 2023 QPP performance information recently added to the PDC and to clinician and group profile pages on the Medicare.gov compare tool:
