Learn about the MVP Reporting Option
Why switch to MVPs now?
Here’s what you get:
1. Quality measures that actually make sense
MVPs focus on your specialty and the patients you see every day. No more reporting on stuff that has nothing to do with your practice.
2. Way less paperwork
Traditional MIPS has too many confusing options. MVPs keep it simple with fewer measures that actually connect to each other.
3. Better feedback about your performance
You’ll be compared to doctors who treat similar patients, not everyone. Finally get useful feedback that helps you improve where it matters.
4. Be already prepared for unforeseen situations
We’re going to phase out old MIPS eventually. Start learning MVPs now while you can still use your backup plan if something goes wrong.
5. Less reporting across all CMS programs
We’re working to make MVP reporting count for other CMS requirements too. Get prepared early and you might save time on multiple programs later.
What Are My Participation Options for Reporting MVPs?
You have four ways to report: Individual, Group, Subgroup, APM Entity
Individual
Register a single clinician to report an MVP. You can register to report an MVP as an individual in addition to reporting an MVP as part of a group or subgroup.
Examples:
- A cardiologist who is the only clinician at a clinic in rural Oklahoma
- A neurologist working at a primary care clinic in Manhattan with other clinicians
- The only orthopedic surgeon at a small hospital in Arkansas
Group
Register to report one MVP as a group, on behalf of all the clinicians in your practice. You can register as a group in addition to registering individual clinicians or a subset of clinicians to report a different MVP.
Examples:
- A rehabilitation center in Denver with orthopedic surgeons, nurses, and physical therapists supporting patients recovering from knee surgery
- A primary care clinic in Illinois with family physicians, nurse practitioners, and internal medicine doctors treating patients with chronic diseases
- A multi-site rheumatology practice with rheumatologists, physician assistants, and nurses providing care across California
Subgroup
Register a subset of the clinicians within your practice to report one MVP as a subgroup. This works well for multispecialty groups to allow for reporting of more than one MVP based on what makes sense clinically. Subgroup participation will be required for multispecialty practices starting in the 2026 performance year.
Examples:
- A multispecialty clinic with cardiologists, heart failure specialists, and electrophysiologists selects clinicians from each specialty to report as a subgroup
- An anesthesiology practice where different clinicians have different daily workloads forms 2 subgroups reporting the same MVP but different measures
- Several internal medicine physicians at a primary care clinic that also supports treatment for patients with heart disease
APM Entity
Register as an APM Entity to report an MVP.
Examples:
- An APM Entity participating in the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement Model
- An APM Entity participating in the Primary Care First Model
