For the 2022 performance year, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) continue to use the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances (EUC) Exception policy to allow individuals, groups, virtual groups, and Alternative Payment Model (APM) Entities to submit an application requesting reweighting of MIPS performance categories due to the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE).

CMS has extended the MIPS EUC Exception application deadline to Friday, March 3, 2023, by 8:00 PM ET. Learn more about all of the COVID-19 flexibilities CMS implemented.
