MIPS 2019 Reporting Is the Future of Quality Healthcare

MIPS 2019 reporting is a progressive path for the qualitative analysis of the healthcare industry. Through the program, CMS ensures the quality of care by measuring the performance of clinicians.

To stand apart from its competitors, P3 Healthcare Solutions is on a mission to promote quality. As proof, Clutch ranks P3Care on their leaders’ matrix.

MIPS 2019 Reporting Requires Critical Thinking

A MIPS Qualified Registry allows only the registry-specific measures; for every submission type, there is a list of acceptable measures.

Merit-Based Incentive Payment System is one of the tracks of the Quality Payment Program (QPP) with the Alternative Payment Model (APM) as the other one. Both of these value-based reimbursement models have their own benefits. To be honest, most eligible clinicians choose MIPS 2019 as their payment model.

Testimonials

Clutch.co reports P3 Healthcare Solutions to be one of the leading organizations in medical billing. Reviews are an interpretation of the quality and performance of an organization, and if they are in favor, the company gathers worth.

Founder, SunCoast RHIO, Lou Galterio says, “P3 Healthcare Solutions enables our providers to get paid faster, and they make billing consistent and reliable”.

He continues his interview with Clutch by declaring:

“They’re incredibly responsive, answering my questions on the weekends and at night. We’re a few hours ahead of them, but they still answer our calls, even when it’s early in the morning for them. They’ve also trained some of our internal team to understand their products.”

There is a famous saying, “All is well that ends well”. It means client satisfaction is the only factor that stands between performance and non-performance. If a client is happy, it is the maximum output of a company – the ultimate criterion that matters in the end.

Essentials to Report Quality Measures in 2019

Quality is one of the four performance categories of MIPS 2019. It carries 45% of the weight toward the final score. Contrary to that, it was 50% weight back in 2018.

Why is there a difference?

It is an effort to reduce the burden of MIPS 2019 reporting requirements of eligible clinicians according to the proposed rule.

First, to fulfill the Quality category, ECs have to undergo MIPS 2019 reporting over a span of 12 months.

Second, there are four ways to submit quality measures:

  • Electronic Clinical Quality Measures (eCQMs);
  • MIPS CQMs (Previously “Registry Measures”);
  • Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) Measures; and
  • Claims-based measures for small practices

Reporting as a Group

With the condition to report as a group of 16 or more clinicians, under the 200 Medicare beneficiaries criteria, the administrative claims-based all-cause readmission measure will automatically count as the seventh measure.

To stay on top of MIPS 2020 reporting, the Qualified Registry option is the most feasible option.

With P3Care as your third-party intermediary, you, as a healthcare professional, can focus on your patients. We become part of your cure to people in distress.

The Case of Specialty Measure Sets

MACRA MIPS never falls short of requirements. ECs, as individuals and groups, have the flexibility to choose between a specialty and subspecialty measure set.

Note: Generally, each eligible clinician is required to submit at least six measures in a specific measure set while CMS Web Interface users have to report all the 10 required quality measures for the full year (January 1 to December 31, 2019).

Value-based care enters the third year successfully and CMS tones down the reporting requirements for clinicians. CMS faces the challenge of physician burnout; they took down some of the measures to reduce their burden. In this way, they can look after their patients in a better way. The lack of patient association and engagement is attributed to difficult EHR handling.

What do you think is a common problem clinicians will likely face in MIPS 2019 reporting?
