The Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) believe that a value-based payment (VBP) model is the future of health care reimbursement. The CMS Quality Payment Programs (QPP) rewards health care providers with incentive payments for the quality of care they give to patients/members within Medicare. Come hear about the 2019 changes to Year Three of the QPP. Find out which clinicians are eligible for the QPP, who can report voluntarily, and the differences between reporting under the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) or as a qualified professional under an Advanced Alternative Payment Model (APMS). QPP scores are used for reimbursement and public quality reporting. This breakout will share resources and tools to help plan for this process.
