The MIPS Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances (EUC) Exception application is open through the end of the year. Groups/clinicians who don’t usually report MIPS or have no MIPS-eligible clinicians may consider applying for the EUC to ensure no downside risk.

Groups/clinicians significantly impacted by the Change Healthcare outage should consider filing a MIPS EUC Exception application. You can submit an application for any of the MIPS Performance categories (quality, cost, improvement activities, and promoting interoperability) if you have experienced Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances. EUCs are defined as rare events entirely outside of your control and the control of the facility in which you practice that may:

  • Cause you to be unable to collect the information necessary to submit for a MIPS performance category.
  • Cause you to be unable to submit the information used to score a MIPS performance category for an extended period (for example, if you failed to collect data for the quality performance category for three months).
  • Impact your every day processes and affect your performance on cost measures and other administrative claims measures.
