## [QPP / MIPS Reporting in 2023 - More Options, But More Challenging](https://blog.healthmonix.com/qpp-/-mips-reporting-in-2023-more-options-but-more-challenging)

With the release of the [2023 PFS Final Rule](https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2022-23873.pdf), the [Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services](https://www.cms.gov/) (CMS) finalized most of the proposed changes for the QPP / [Merit-based Incentive Payment System](https://qpp.cms.gov/mips/traditional-mips) (MIPS) program that had been released in the Proposed Rule last July.  

We are seeing that while the payment threshold is holding at 75 points, it can be tougher to achieve that threshold score with the changes in the program for 2023.

## [2023 PFS Final Rule: All-Payer Quality Reporting is Here](https://blog.healthmonix.com/2023-pfs-final-rule-all-payer-quality-reporting-is-here)

The [2023 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) Final Rule](https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2022-23873.pdf) was released on November 6, 2023 and included over 3,000 pages of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) regulations and rulings for the 2023 year. While there is a ton of information to cover the entire rule, I would like to share what you need to know about the impact on the [Medicare Shared Saving Program](https://www.cms.gov/medicare/medicare-fee-for-service-payment/sharedsavingsprogram) (MSSP) for [Accountable Care Organizations](https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Medicare-Fee-for-Service-Payment/ACO) (ACOs). In the first of this three-part series, I will cover Quality Reporting Requirements and Strategy. Subsequent blogs will cover Introduction to the Health Equity Adjustment and The Move from All or Nothing Scoring to a Scaled Approach .

If you are a visual learner, you can get most of this information from [our latest webinar.](https://info.healthmonix.com/2023-pfs-final-rule-ecqm-mips-cqm-reporting-here-to-stay-for-acos)
