MIPS Value Pathways (MVPs) are a streamlined way to meet MIPS reporting requirements. Each MVP groups measures and improvement activities around a specific specialty or medical condition for more meaningful reporting.

MIPS Reporting Options

Clinicians can report through:

• MVPs
• Traditional MIPS
• APM Performance Pathway (APP)

Beginning in 2026, multispecialty groups reporting MVPs must report as subgroups. CMS also plans to phase out traditional MIPS, making MVPs the future standard unless clinicians qualify to report through APP.

MVPs provide:

1. More Meaningful Quality Assessment
   Measures are aligned with specific specialties and medical conditions.
2. Less Reporting Complexity
   A focused set of measures and activities reduces administrative burden.
3. Better Performance Feedback
   Clinicians can compare performance with similar clinicians reporting the same MVP.
4. Preparation for the Future of MIPS
   Early adoption helps practices become familiar with MVP reporting and workflow changes. For CY 2026, clinicians may report an MVP alongside another reporting option, with CMS using the highest score.
5. Potential CMS Reporting Alignment
   MVPs may increasingly align with other CMS programs, potentially reducing overall reporting burden.

C3P works with clinicians, patients, specialty societies, and other stakeholders to develop MVPs that support meaningful measurement and patient care.

C3P is a MIPS expert and can help you:

• Navigate MVP reporting requirements
• Review finalized MVPs and their measures/activities
• Identify MVPs relevant to your specialty
• Prepare for the transition from traditional MIPS to MVPs
