Medicare Beneficiary Quality Improvement Project (MBQIP)

The goal of the Flex Medicare Beneficiary Quality Improvement Project (MBQIP) is to improve rural quality care access for Medicare beneficiaries served by critical access hospitals (CAHs). These resources address the challenges of defining and reporting rural-relevant quality measurements and adopting proven clinical delivery models that drive quality and performance-based value. They also provide an overview of the goals, expectations, and measures for MBQIP.

Questions regarding the MBQIP can be directed to Megan Meacham (mmeacham@hrsa.gov) at the Office of Rural Health Policy, Health Resources and Services Administration.
