“Although the issues raised are outside of our direct control, we are using every channel we have available to advocate for these issues with the CMS, such as including this feedback in our upcoming comments in response to CMS’ recently released 2025 Proposed Rule,” says Ms. Johansson. “We recognize the important role we play in serving as a strong voice for our practices when it comes to the federal government’s payment programs.”
Finding 5: 89% Plan to Report the 2024 MVP Through RISE
When asked about 2024 reporting plans, 89% stated they intend to submit for the MVP. The other 11% indicated they were unsure of their reporting plans for 2024. Additionally, 44% of survey respondents intend to only report for the 2024 MVP and not traditional MIPS.
“My practice plans to only report for the 2024 MVP and not for traditional MIPS,” explains Ms. Rendon. “Because it is the way CMS is heading, we might as well get ahead and know what it is all about.”
“We at RISE find those numbers really encouraging,” Ms. Johansson says. “Although the first year of anything inherently means paving the way to a certain extent, we are glad providers are finding the MVP we helped CMS build meets their needs so far and look forward to supporting the MVP again for 2024 QPP reporting.”
Conclusion
Although the inaugural year for the MVP had its ups and downs, the survey data indicate providers who reported through RISE had an overall positive experience. They also identified clear pathways for improvement.
“The survey data are instrumental in guiding RISE as we support our users through QPP reporting,” Ms. Johansson says. “Not only will we use it to directly address challenges from this year’s reporting, but we are better able to reflect the opinions of our users to CMS and the federal government at large.”
