2021 MIPS: What You Need to Know to Avoid a Penalty

Register today to join AAPM&R for an informative webinar on Wednesday, March 3 at 6 pm (CT).

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) updates the Quality Payment Program annually via the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule rule. Eligible clinicians either report using an Alternative Payment Model or the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). Most physiatrists will be reporting under MIPS, which will impact their future Medicare reimbursements.

AAPM&R will host a MIPS webinar on Wednesday, March 3 at 6 pm (CT) to review the new 2021 reporting requirements and explain how you can improve your score within each of the four performance categories:

  • Quality
  • Improvement Activities
  • Promoting Interoperability
  • Cost

Positive or negative payment adjustments based on a provider’s performance score will be a maximum 9% for the 2021 performance year and 2023 payments.

We’ll go over how to identify appropriate quality measures and improvement activities for your physiatry practice and share strategies to monitor costs and meet promoting interoperability components.

Register today to join us on March 3.
