MIPS Value Pathway (MVP) for Urology – Optimal Care for Patients with Urologic Conditions

What This Means for AQUA Participants

MVPs streamline MIPS reporting by aligning measures to urology care—reducing administrative burden while improving benchmarking across similar practices.

The urology MVP includes:

  • 14 Quality Measures across oncology and general urology (e.g., prostate cancer, BPH, urinary incontinence, stone care)
  • 17 Improvement Activities focused on care coordination, telehealth, and health equity
  • 3 Cost Measures, including prostate cancer (new in 2025) and Medicare Spending per Beneficiary

Why It Matters

As a CMS-approved QCDR, the AQUA Registry is well-positioned to support MVP adoption. Through specialty-specific measures, benchmarking insights, and reporting guidance, AQUA helps practices:

  • Align more efficiently with MVP requirements
  • Use actionable urology data to drive performance improvement
  • Prepare for future MVP participation

With voluntary reporting underway, now is the time to assess readiness and make the most of your AQUA participation.
