Are you ready to report on MVPs?
By ION
The MIPS Consulting team encourages you to start tracking and reporting the MVPs, possibly alongside your traditional MIPS to give you some background on what that scoring looks like and how those measures could affect your practice. If you are reporting both the traditional MIPS (scoring on six measures) and the MVP (four measures plus the population health measure), CMS will use the higher score of the two to calculate your Final Score and MIPS payment adjustment.
Some of the changes for the upcoming reporting year include: six new MVPs – including Urology and Ophthalmology - and changes to the population health component under the Quality category. Instead of choosing one of the population health measures at registration, CMS will calculate both measures and apply the highest scoring measure to your Quality category score.
Other changes include measure updates for new or retired measures in both Quality and Improvement Activities and changes to the scoring for Improvement Activities. You will now only have to attest to one Improvement Activity under the MVP. More detail on changes and additions to the list of available MVPs this year, can be found in a webinar provided by the MIPS consulting team earlier this month.
The consulting team provides webinars to educate practices on specific changes and information CMS’ Proposed and Final Rules.
Our MIPS Consulting team works with 19 different specialties in over 200 practices and 30 different EMR platforms to help those providers in trying to maximize their revenues from CMS’ MIPS submissions. The team has completed nearly 30,000 submissions under MU. PQRS and MIPS since 2011.
