2026 MIPS Quality Benchmarks

Where CMS sets the bar for every 2026 measure

CMS scores each MIPS quality measure against historical benchmarks specific to its collection type. Your performance rate falls into a decile (1 to 10), which determines your measure points. Open a measure to see its full decile thresholds and simulate your score.

2026 benchmarks by measure and collection type

How to read the table

Avg. rate
The average performance rate in the CMS benchmark data for that collection type.
Decile 10
The rate that reaches the top decile. A “<=” marks a measure where lower rates score better.
Topped out and 7-pt cap
Most clinicians already perform near the ceiling. Capped measures earn at most 7 of 10 points, which makes them a poor choice for score optimization.
No benchmark
Scored against a performance-period benchmark computed after submission.
