Wave 1 cost measure comprehensive reevaluation (2022-2023)

In February 2023, we requested input on potential revisions to 3 episode-based cost measures undergoing comprehensive reevaluation before consideration of their use in the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS):

  • Cataract Removal with Intraocular Lens (IOL) Implantation (currently Routine Cataract Removal with Intraocular Lens (IOL) Implantation)
  • Inpatient Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) (currently ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction [STEMI] with PCI)
  • Respiratory Infection Hospitalization (currently Simple Pneumonia with Hospitalization)

Note: Any substantive changes to the measure are required to go through the notice-and-comment rulemaking process before being finalized for use in the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS).
