Upcoming MIPS Webinars

Members & Publications

May 2, 2017

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will be hosting 2 upcoming webinars to learn about the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). Don't forget: you can use the Spine Quality Outcomes Database to meet your MIPS reporting requirements! 

How to Select Measures and Maximize Quality Performance in MIPS 

CAPG is pleased to present a complimentary new webinar series for physicians and physician groups implementing the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) through the Quality Payment Program (QPP). Through a co-branding agreement with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the sessions will combine CMS expertise on the regulation’s content with CAPG members’ knowledge of how clinicians are responding on the ground to these important changes.

In this session, CMS’s Dr. David Nilasena will review MACRA’s requirement for quality reporting, reporting mechanisms, and scoring methodology, and will answer questions on the specific quality component of the Quality Payment Program (QPP). CAPG members Dr. Susan Merrill and Dr. Matt Poffenroth will describe how they’re selecting measures for optimal success, and will share the rationale behind their strategies and its implications for their organizations. Speakers are:

  • David S. Nilasena, MD, Chief Medical Officer, CMS Region 6 
  • Susan Merrill, PhD, MPH, Director, Ambulatory Quality and Patient Safety, John Muir Physician Network
  • Matt Poffenroth, MD, CEO and CMO, Signature Partners, Inova Health System

  • Individual vs. Group Reporting
  • Group Reporting Requirements
  • Performance Category Measures
  • Data Submission Mechanisms

Legislation Introduced to Alleviate Impact of Conversion Factor Cut for 2021

Nov 09, 2020

Last month, two bills were introduced in the House proposing solutions to the estimated 10.6% Physician Fee Schedule conversion factor cut expected to go into effect January 1, 2021.  The bills offer some relief to the cut, but do not reflect a comprehensive or long-term solution.  AAPM&R has therefore chosen to remain neutral regarding these bills. 

Your Academy continues to advocate for a permanent solution to the conversion factor cut while maintaining the important payment increases to office and outpatient evaluation and management services.
