MIPS 2026: Reporting Choices and Deadlines Explained
Quality Payment Program deadlines and reporting options for the 2026 performance year, in plain language for busy practices.
Know where you stand early
Check your MIPS eligibility status on the QPP website at the start of the year. Low-volume thresholds mean some practices are exempt without knowing it, while others assume they are exempt and are not.
Pick your measures deliberately
Choose quality measures tied to your specialty's everyday care, not the easiest scores. Confirm your EHR can capture the improvement activities and promoting interoperability data you commit to.
Build reporting into the workflow
Waiting until December to compile a performance year is the most common and costly mistake. We help practices map measures to workflows, monitor data monthly, and submit before the deadline.
