The Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) uses a composite performance score to determine if eligible physicians will receive a payment bonus, a payment penalty, or no payment adjustments. So, what’s the score for your physicians? Do they know?
During the next live edition of the long-running Monitor Mondays, Leigh Poland, vice president of coding services for AGS Health, will report on why it’s essential for all eligible clinicians to report their score to prevent a 9-percent downward adjustment for all Medicare Part B claims paid two years from the reporting year.
