For the 2024 MIPS performance year, there are 7 retained measures available through CMS for Pathologists to earn points in the MIPS program. There are no new or deleted measures for this year and only one small revision to Measure 491.
Clinicians will still be expected to report at least 6 quality measures, with one designated outcome measure. If no outcome measure is applicable, they will be expected to report a High Priority measure. If a group reports all 7 available measures, the 6 highest-scoring are used to determine the final MIPS point total.
