MVP: Optimal Care for Kidney Health

To fulfill quality requirements:

1. You must select 4 quality measures from the list below
2. (exception for clinicians in a small practice – see # 4 below)
3. At least 1 measure must be an outcome measure
   • If no outcome measures are available, you may report a high priority measure.
4. If you are part of a small practice (i.e., 15 or fewer clinicians) reporting quality measures through Medicare Part B claims, you don’t need to report additional measures beyond the Medicare Part B claims measures available in this MVP. Reporting all of the Medicare Part B claims measures in this MVP will fulfill your quality reporting requirements.
5. You must collect data for each measure for the 12-month performance period of the associated performance year (e.g., January 1, 2025 – December 31, 2025).

TIP: For small practices (participating at the individual, group or subgroup level) reporting Medicare Part B claims measures: To meet data completeness requirements, you’ll need to start reporting the Medicare Part B claims measures in your selected MVP in January 2025, prior to the MVP registration period.

TIP: Make sure that you select measures that are appropriate to your patient population. Measures that don’t meet case minimum or data completeness criteria will earn zero points.

To fulfill improvement activity requirements:

1. You must report 1 improvement activity from the list below.

Beginning in 2025, improvement activities don’t have assigned weights.

Important information to consider:

1. You don’t have to submit any data for this performance category. We’ll use Medicare claims data to
   calculate your cost measure performance.
   
   (You don’t select cost measures during MVP registration. CMS will calculate your performance
   on all the cost measures included in the MVP based on available Medicare claims data.)
2. You’ll only be scored on the cost measures in this MVP for which you meet or exceed the established
   case minimum.
