Due to American Medical Association advocacy and outreach to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), CMS has extended the deadline to file a 2022 MIPS Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances (EUC) hardship extension until March 3, 2023. The original deadline was Jan 3, 2023.
If physicians feel they have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022, they may file a MIPS hardship exemption with CMS to avoid a 2024 MIPS penalty.
Practices are encouraged to take advantage of this administrative relief.
