MIPS and the New Medicare Quality Payment Program that healthcare providers need to be aware

[Roger Steven]

Healthcare providers have to pay close attention to the structure and program-specific details on CMS's Quality Payment Program, MACRA, MIPS and APM incentive implementation. Since the first performance year for these programs begins on January 1, 2017 and payment adjustments will follow in 2019 (as the 2019 bonus/penalty adjustments will be based on the 2017 performance metrics); now is the time for healthcare providers to begin preparing.

MentorHealth, an acclaimed provider of professional trainings for the healthcare industry, will offer complete guidance on the ways of doing this. Joseph Wolfe, who is an attorney with Hall, Render, Killian, Heath & Lyman, P.C., the largest health care focused law firm in the country, will offer insights on these areas, from which In-House Counsel, Health Care Executives, Health Care Human Resources and Healthcare CFO's can gain tremendously.
