"In 2019, the first payment year, MIPS will take approximately $199 million from eligible clinicians below the performance threshold and redistribute those funds to providers above the performance threshold. Eventually, the redistributed dollars will be equivalent to 9% of Medicare physician payments."

Excerpted from: Accountable Care News, Volume 8 Number 7, July 2017, "The Impact of ACOs on MIPS Payment Opportunities," by Lynn Barr, MPH, and LeeAnn Hastings, J.D., MPH.
