A CMS survey of Medicare patients finds them in good shape by some measures (e.g., good knees) and not-so-good shape in others (e.g., overweight or obese).

Watch out for coding updates to a dozen national coverage determinations (NCDs), including big-ticket items such as mammography, to ensure your claims continue to get paid as ICD-10 turns one in October.

Experts with whom we surveyed the new merit-based incentive payment system (MIPS) reporting program proposed rule, which CMS released on April 27, see a lot to like – but worry CMS may be rushing things.

Flush the old alphabet soup down the drain. MIPS is here and with it comes a new language aligned with the updated quality-reporting programs.
Solo providers and small practices, take note. Under the merit-based incentive payment system (MIPS) that starts in 2017, you will get docked more than half a billion dollars in Medicare payments.
