MACRA, MIPS and Plastic Surgeons
How emphasis on quality over volume is changing the way you get paid.
The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) shifts the thought process behind Medicare payments, offering plastic surgeons positive payment adjustments for providing higher quality care. Should those standards not be met, however, practices could experience negative payment adjustments. And it can add up fast.
Learn more about MACRA and MIPS here.
By combining three existing quality reporting programs, PQRS, MU and the Value-based Payment Modifier, and adding another program called Practice Improvement, MACRA created the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS).
When MACRA and MIPS roll out in 2017, data will be key. Having an EHR system like EMA to automate structured data and provide analytics will be crucial to how your practice fares.
Here are five ways EMA Plastic Surgery addresses MACRA and MIPS to help you thrive in 2017 and beyond:
- Real Patient Engagement and Analytical Tools
- Automated Quality Data
- Population Health Registries
- A Pledge to Interoperability
- Professional Support
