Physician Performance in the Medicare Merit-based Incentive Payment System —Reply

In Reply We agree with Dr Rathi ’s main observation about our recent article that the financial incentives were small in the MIPS 2019 performance year, and the performance threshold for avoiding a payment penalty was low. In fact, the performance threshold was so low in 2019 that only clinicians who did not comply with the MIPS (did not report any performance measures to the CMS) received payment penalties.
