Deadline To Participate In QPP MIPS 2017 is Close

DON’T DELAY! DEADLINE TO PARTICIPATE IN MIPS 2017 IS OCTOBER 2ND!

Have you thought of participating in the MIPS (Merit-based Incentive Payment System) program this year, but believed it was too late? Don’t worry, there’s still enough time! The MIPS transition year started January 1st, 2017, and goes through to December 31st, 2017. You’ll need to begin your 90 consecutive days of data collection no later than October 2nd, 2017 in order to be eligible for a neutral or positive payment adjustment. Contact P3 to ensure all applicable data codes are applied to your claims starting no later than October 2nd.

To earn the maximum payment adjustment, it is best to submit data for a full year. If you choose not to submit any 2017 data, you will receive a negative payment adjustment which will go into effect January 1st, 2019. Don’t be discouraged though, if you only submit for 90 days there is still the opportunity to earn the maximum adjustment. Don’t delay, October 2nd is just around the corner, contact your P3 consultant today!

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

For 2017, you can participate in one of three ways:

Submit:

data covering a full year
for a consecutive 90-day period
a minimum amount of data (<90 days)
