HAVE A LAUGH!
SOLUTION
BE PREPARED FOR MIPS If your practice bills Medicare Part B, then more than likely you will be required to participate in the Merit-based Incentive Program (MIPS) this year or suffer a negative payment adjustment in 2019. The good news is if you have already been participating in Meaningful Use and PQRS, you have a good start with MIPS requirements, although there are some changes that you should be aware of. In addition, CMS has declared 2017 as a transition year, so you should be able to avoid payment adjustments with little effort. The key is to get educated and create a plan for how you will comply. If MIPS is new to you, get started with the new CMS website. Go to qpp.cms.gov and from the main page you can key in your provider NPI and the website will direct you on the next steps. You will also be able to learn more about the pick-your-own-pace options for reporting. The options are for a full year of participation, a 90-day reporting period, or a partial participation that allows providers to submit minimal data. Qpp.cms.gov also includes details that can help providers select which measures best fit their practice, in addition to training videos and education materials. If you need additional help understanding the program and how AZCOMP products and services can assist you, please call us!
