APMA and others requested that CMS allow providers impacted by the Change Healthcare cyberattack to apply for a hardship exception from MIPS participation in 2024. This request has been granted!
MIPS Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances (EUC) are events “outside of a provider’s control” that prevent the provider “from collecting MIPS data for an extended period of time.” The 2024 MIPS EUC application has been released and allows providers to request an exception from having to perform one or more MIPS performance categories, including all of them. Complete the application online.
If the Change Healthcare cyberattack negatively impacted your ability to participate in MIPS in 2024 by preventing you “from collecting MIPS data for an extended period of time,” you may consider completing this application and choosing “Ransom/Malware” as the “Event Type,” and confirming in the application that the ransom/malware event pertained to the Change Healthcare cyberattack.
