- CMS Extends 2023 MIPS Data Submission Deadline Until April 15 Due to Impact of Change Healthcare Cybersecurity Attack
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has extended the 2023 Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) data submission deadline until April 15. The deadline was originally scheduled to close on April 1, but due to ongoing concerns with the impact the Change Healthcare cybersecurity attack is having on physician practices, the CMS has extended the 2023 MIPS data submission deadline. Data can now be submitted and updated until 8 PM ET on April 15, 2024.
In addition, on March 13, CMS published FAQs related to the Change Healthcare/Optum payment disruption accelerated and advance payments. These go into detail about what services qualify for accelerated and advance payments, application criteria, terms of repayment, financial concerns, and other topics.
