PY 2023 MIPS Exception Application Reopened Due to Change Healthcare Cyberattack, Following APMA Advocacy!

APMA is thrilled that following advocacy by APMA, AMA, and other stakeholders, in response to the Change Healthcare cyberattack, CMS has reopened the 2023 MIPS Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances (EUC) Exception Application, to provide relief to MIPS-eligible clinicians impacted by the Change Healthcare cyberattack.

Although the APMA MIPS App/Registry is now closed for 2023 Performance year submissions, MIPS-eligible providers from small practices who are not eligible for the EUC Exception can still submit some of their MIPS measures directly to the CMS QPP portal through the new extended deadline of April 15, 8 p.m. ET.  

Important note: CMS will only approve applications citing this cyberattack as the basis for requesting reweighting under the MIPS EUC Exception. Applications submitted for reasons outside of the Change Healthcare cyberattack will be denied. Also, any data submitted to CMS will override your application for those performance categories.
