Quality Payment Program Boot Camps


Ready or Not, the Quality Payment Program is Here to Stay.

Performing well under the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) has never been more important. Healthcare providers face a 5% pay cut to all Medicare reimbursement based on their 2020 reporting—that number will jump to 7% in 2020 and 9% in 2020.
However, CMS has designated 2020 as a second "transition year," making the reporting requirements easier to attain and giving savvy providers a simpler path to avoid pay cuts and gain additional revenue. To do so, you'll need to know how to select the right measures for your practice, put your electronic health record (EHR) to good use, understand how cost scores can affect your performance, and much more.
If you’ve already started to report measures but aren’t completely confident that those measures are the best fit for your office, The Quality Payment Program Boot Camp has the answer. Join us for a comprehensive, one-day event that will answer your questions and put you on the path to quality-reporting success.

Agenda

7:00 a.m. – 8:00 a.m.
REGISTRATION/CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST
8:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m.
New to MIPS? Here are the basics
If you haven’t reported MIPS for 2020 or 2020, you may have trouble following the rest of our presentations. Even people who have reported could probably use a refresher. This session gets you up to speed on all the basic concepts – eligibility requirements, exclusions and exceptions, scoring, the various methods of attestation and submission, benchmarks, etc. After this session, you’ll have a firm foundation on which to build your MIPS success.
9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.
MIPS measures: Get selection and incorporation right or get ready for a pay cut
Selecting the measures for quality, improvement activities and advancing care information is the vital first step towards preventing a pay cut, but it is very easy to stumble. The measures from each category must be relevant and interesting to the clinician who will perform them, and it will take team work to make quality performance work at the practice. The practice must create processes that will incorporate performance of the measures, collection of the appropriate information and submission to Medicare into the practice’s workflow. This session will show you how to overcome these challenges, select measures that work for your clinicians and maximize your chances of MIPS success in the years to come.
10:00 a.m. – 10:15 a.m.
MORNING REFRESHMENT BREAK
10:15 a.m. – 11:15 a.m.
MIPS measures: Get selection and incorporation right or get ready for a pay cut (continued)
11:15 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.
Improving EHR Reporting: Why Taking Control of Your Measures Selection Is Paramount
Using your electronic health record (EHR) to report measures can streamline your efforts, but going too far down the path of automation can cause pain in the end. Ensure you’re selecting the measures that are the best fit for your practice and patients to enhance your MIPS scores. Learn the best way to choose the most appropriate measures and avoid defaults that may harm your reporting efforts.
12:15 p.m. – 1:15 p.m.
LUNCH
1:15 p.m. – 2:15 p.m.
When it comes to the Cost category, what you don’t know can hurt you
The Cost category will count for 10% of your 2020 performance score and even more in subsequent years. You will be graded and compared to other providers based on specific cost measures that track your Medicare reimbursement. The kicker is – there is nothing for you to report. Medicare will calculate your score based on its analysis of your claims for the year. But just because you don’t have to report your costs doesn’t mean you can ignore this important section of MIPS. In this session, learn how cost measures are calculated and how you can check your progress and optimize your cost score.
2:15 p.m. – 3:15 p.m.

AFTERNOON REFRESHMENT BREAK
3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Challenging the quality performance pay cut
When Medicare finds a practice didn’t succeed at quality performance, the practice will have one chance to challenge the findings and avert a hefty pay cut. However, the process is confusing and complicated. Practices must access and review the quality performance report card to understand why Medicare thinks it should apply a pay cut before they can craft and submit a response. You’ll leave this session with the guidance you need to maximize the effectiveness of your quality performance challenge.
4:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.
2020 final rule (proposed rule) Best practices for 2020 based on the 2020 final rule
Generally what CMS puts in a proposed rule matches what’s in the final rule, so get a jumpstart on your 2020 MIPS plan with a breakdown of the proposed rule and its changes that will almost certainly wind up in the final. This session gives you a jump on the new order by reviewing all the proposed changes and analyzing their potential impact on providers. Part B News will notify you if the final varies in a significant way.
5:30 p.m.
Boot Camp Adjourns
