Medicare has made life easier for clinicians considering using a QCDR to submit their MIPS quality performance information.

Face the facts about your patient-facing status, MIPS-eligible clinicians. CMS has released the list of the 5,702 codes that qualify as patient-facing services and procedures in 2018.

Providers who want to recommend changes or additions to the current specialty measure sets under the merit-based incentive payment system (MIPS) should mark their calendars: You have until Feb. 9 to let CMS know about any changes you'd like to see for the 2019 MIPS reporting year.
 
 
Providers will find a new entry into the world of advanced alternative payment models (APM) after CMS announced the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPCI) Advanced program, which will reward providers on the basis of their cost-containment scores for 32 distinct episodes of care.
Clinicians who have have been anxious to start the next round of merit-based incentive payment system (MIPS) participation will be delighted to learn that the bulk of measures specifications information is now available for this year. All other clinicians who need to participate to protect their payments also should review the updated information and get a start on MIPS year 2.
