Even though we have passed the half way point in the transition year of the CMS Quality Payment Program, it is not too late for providers to participate and avoid a 4% negative payment adjustment on their Medicare Part B Services in 2019. In fact, there is still ample opportunity for MIPS Eligible Clinicians (ECs) to earn a small payment adjustment and possibly even earn a bonus in 2019.
To avoid a penalty, report one of the following in 2017:
- 1 Quality Measure on 1 patient OR
- Meet a minimum of the 4 base measures for Advancing Care Information OR
- Attest to 1 Improvement Activity
If you are eligible for MIPS and you have not already implemented a process for capturing or reporting QPP data in your practice, call LAMMICO and let us help you!
You don't have to have an EHR to avoid a penalty or earn a positive adjustment or bonus. Through our Practice Solutions Program, we can guide you through the QPP and help you avoid a penalty or achieve a positive payment adjustment or bonus! Call 504.841.2727 or email Natalie Cohen at ncohen@lammico.com, LAMMICO Practice Management Specialist, for more information or assistance.
