Where can I find information about MIPS reporting?
Asked and Answered
January 1, 2026
The Academy’s Practice Management Center has updates, tools, and resources for dermatologists to navigate the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). This includes a snapshot document that outlines reporting options for practices of varying sizes and needs, as well as an easy-to-follow, three-step reporting guide. There’s also a detailed breakdown of each MIPS category: quality, promoting interoperability (PI), improvement activities (IA), and cost.
