What's at Stake: 2026 MIPS Payment Adjustments

2026 MIPS Payment Adjustment: Up to −9% Penalty

Non-reporters face up to −9% on all Medicare Part B payments. High scorers receive up to +9% (plus exceptional performance bonuses). The difference between doing nothing and doing MIPS well can exceed 18 percentage points of your Medicare revenue — on every claim, for the entire year.

MIPS is scored across four performance categories, each with a specific weight in your composite score. RCMAXIS manages all four categories for your practice — identifying your strongest measures, tracking performance throughout the year, and submitting data before the March 31 deadline.

Quality

Report 6 quality measures from CMS's approved set. RCMAXIS identifies the highest-scoring measures for your specialty — selecting measures your practice can consistently perform well on based on your patient population and EHR capabilities.

25%
Promoting Interoperability

EHR meaningful use metrics — patient portal adoption, secure messaging, CPOE usage, and clinical data exchange. RCMAXIS works with your EHR vendor to capture required data and maximize your PI score without disrupting clinical workflows.

15%
Improvement Activities

Choose 2–4 approved improvement activities from CMS's activity inventory. RCMAXIS identifies activities your practice likely already performs — care coordination, expanded access, patient safety programs — and documents them correctly for maximum credit.

30%
Cost

Calculated automatically by CMS based on claims data — no submission required. RCMAXIS monitors your cost category trajectory throughout the year, identifying high-cost patterns and flagging opportunities to improve your cost score before year-end finalization.

End-to-End MIPS Management

Eligibility Assessment

Determine if your practice is subject to MIPS or qualifies for exclusion (low-volume threshold, Advanced APM participation, new provider status). RCMAXIS reviews your Medicare billing volume and confirms your reporting requirements before the performance year begins.

Measure Selection

Identify the 6 quality measures from CMS's approved set that will yield the highest composite score for your specialty. RCMAXIS analyzes your patient population, procedure mix, and EHR data availability to select the optimal measure combination — maximizing your score ceiling before data collection begins.

Year-Round Data Collection

Work with your EHR and billing data throughout the performance year to capture measure numerator and denominator data. RCMAXIS monitors performance monthly, alerts your team when scores fall below target, and provides actionable guidance to improve performance before year-end lock-in.

CMS Submission

Submit all MIPS data to CMS via RCMAXIS's qualified registry connection before the annual March 31 deadline. RCMAXIS confirms receipt, monitors for CMS acknowledgment, and retains full submission documentation for audit defense.

Performance Monitoring

Track your composite score in real time throughout the performance year. RCMAXIS provides monthly score updates, flags underperforming measures, and recommends mid-year strategy adjustments to protect your positive payment adjustment before year-end data is locked.

Exception & Hardship Applications

File hardship exemptions for qualifying conditions — EHR transition, natural disaster, extreme circumstances. RCMAXIS identifies exemption eligibility, prepares documentation, and submits hardship applications to CMS before the annual deadline to protect your practice from penalties.
