On July 1, 2025, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the 2023 Quality Payment Program (QPP) Experience Report. This document provides data specific to sleep medicine providers as it relates to Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) measures. Per the 2023 QPP experience report, 541,421 clinicians received a MIPS payment adjustment. This is down 13% from 2022.
2023 Final Scores by Participation Option. Participation option refers to the level at which data is collected and submitted to MIPS.*
| Participation Option | Mean Final Score | Median Final Score |
|---|---|---|
| Individual (45,044 MIPS eligible clinicians) |
56.16 | 75.00 |
| Group (375,400 MIPS eligible clinicians) |
82.87 | 82.91 |
| Subgroup (101 MIPS eligible clinicians) |
89.98 | 93.62 |
| Virtual Group (300 MIPS eligible clinicians) |
74.88 | 75.00 |
| APM Entity (120,576 MIPS eligible clinicians) |
94.24 | 94.31 |
*75 points are required to meet the performance threshold and is the minimum final score needed to avoid a negative payment adjustment.
