Exploring the Basics of Medicare MIPS 2020 in Healthcare

Whether it is about MIPS 2019 or Medicare MIPS 2020 reporting, Qualified Registry is one of the most authentic ways to do it. It is one of the collection types recognized by CMS to submit on behalf of the providers. Submissions further split into three types: either you can report it as an individual clinician, as a group, or as a virtual group. Whatever you choose to be, remember, it is your career and incentives on the line.

If you have been a late bloomer in the previous installment of the MIPS program (MIPS 2019) and couldn’t submit data on time, there is still time to do that until March 31, 2020, the deadline. As far as Medicare MIPS 2020 is concerned, it has just started so you have plenty of time as a clinician to report it. Nevertheless, we advise you to report it at the earliest to remove the chances of penalties later on.

Another name of Medicare Access and Chip Reauthorization Act (MACRA) is compliance. As a practice, if you show compliance with MACRA, it has outcomes in your favor. It can make you look good in the eyes of your patients because your reputation speaks of it on the Physician Compare portal. Alongside this, you are eligible for incentives up to 9% in 2022.

Go to https://qpp.cms.gov/about/resource-library to check out Quality, Promoting Interoperability (PI), and Improvement Activities (IA) for 2020 as CMS recently released new information related to MIPS 2020.

CMS MIPS reporting begins once you choose measures and select a collection type to submit them. PI in 2019 has to be accurate the first time, so submit carefully; you still have time.
