Last year, CMS cut you some slack on the results of the MACRA data you submitted. That’s all over in 2018. If you fail to participate or submit inaccurate data you’ll be hit with a 5% reduction in your Medicare reimbursement.
Most likely, you’ll be submitting your data under the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). How you submit your data in 2018 may not be what you thought. Accordingly, it’s essential that you have these new guidelines, and Jeanne Chamberlin, MA, FACMPE will provide key tips during her 90-minute online training session.
Here are just a few of the step-by-step, practical MIPS reporting tactics you’ll receive during her training:
- Report more accurate MIPS data by including the most recent 2018 program changes
- Pin down reporting requirements to avoid a 5% Medicare pay cut
- Identify which measures and activities are best for you to report
- Determine if you qualify for MIPS reporting exemptions in 2018
- Increase your chances of receiving a bonus from Medicare for your 2018 data
- Decide whether to use the new optional facility-based scoring for hospital-based clinicians
- Optimize your final data reporting for 2017 services
- And so much more…
IMPORTANT: How you gather, calculate and submit your MIPS data can make or break your practice. Going forward, your MIPS scores will have a direct result on your revenue. They will be published publicly online for your patients to review, and Medicare will be encouraging seniors to use them to choose their providers. Bad data will equal less patients and less revenue.
Right now, MACRA just affects you if you see Medicare patients. However, you can bet that commercial payers are watching Medicare’s progress in this Pay for Value system. You can expect commercial payers will follow Medicare’s lead in the coming years – they usually do.
You can get the help you need to ensure you are reporting your data in the best light possible to ensure you receive the highest allowable reimbursement, and maintain your patient volume. Don’t wait, order this must-see online training session today.
