1 MACRA: How is Podiatry Affected?
2 Faculty Adam E. Fleischer, DPM, MPH Associate Professor Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science Director of Research Weil Foot and Ankle Institute Chicago, Illinois
3 Faculty Disclosures Dr. Fleischer has disclosed no relevant financial relationships with any commercial interests.
4 Learning Objectives 1) Recognize how provider MIPS scores will be affected in the coming years. 2) Describe future trends for MIPS and APMs and their impact on podiatry. 3) Describe several Quality and Improvement reporting measures that are particularly well suited for podiatric physicians.
5 SGR MACRA (The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015) Quality Payment Program MIPS APM
6 MIPS Score Highest possible score is 100 points EPs will receive either a positive or negative payment adjustment to the Medicare Part B fee schedule, based on their MIPS score Almost all podiatrists will report through MIPS first year MIPS = merit-based incentive payment system; EP = eligible professional.
7 Thresholds CMS set the Performance Threshold at 3 and the Exceptional Performance Threshold at 70, meaning that any clinician with a MIPS score of at least 3 which can be accomplished by submitting, for example, just one quality measure will avoid a negative adjustment, and those earning a score of at least 70 will be eligible for an Exceptional Performance Adjustment from the annual $500 million pool. CMS = Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
8 MIPS Adjustments 2019: -4% to +4% (based on 2017 score) 2020: -5% to +5% (based on 2018 score) 2021: -7% to +7% (based on 2019 score) 2022 : -9% to +9% (based on 2020 score)
9 MIPS Year 1 Mostly budget neutral Penalty no more than 4% Most positive adjustments no more than 4% (positive moved based on budget neutrality) Exceptional Performance (MIPS score of 70 or higher access to additional $500 million bonus pool)
10 Exclusions CMS proposes to exclude otherwise MIPS-eligible low-volume clinicians or groups who, during the performance period, either do not exceed Medicare billing charges of $30,000 or provide care for 100 or fewer Part B-enrolled Medicare beneficiaries. Newly Medicare-enrolled eligible clinicians Qualifying APM Participants (QPs) Certain Partial Qualifying APM Participants (Partial QPs) APM = alternative payment model
11 MIPS Two determination period options to meet 2017 low-volume threshold: 9/1/2015-8/31/2016 or 9/1/2016-8/31/2017
12 MIPS Participation Status Letter MIPS Participation Status Letter The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is reviewing claims and letting practices know which clinicians need to take part in, the Merit-based Incentive Payment System. MIPS is an important part of the new. In late April through May, practices will get a letter from the. This letter will tell the participation status of each MIPS clinician associated with the Taxpayer Identification Number or TIN in a practice. Clinicians should participate in MIPS for the 2017 transition year if they bill more than $30,000 in Medicare Part B allowed charges a year AND provide care for more than 100 Part B-enrolled Medicare beneficiaries a year. The Quality Payment Program intends to shift reimbursement from the volume of services provided toward a payment system that rewards clinicians for their overall work in delivering the best care for patients. It replaces the Sustainable Growth Rate formula and streamlines the Legacy Programs Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS), the Value-based Payment Modifier (VM), and the Medicare Electronic Health Records (EHR) Incentive Program. During this first year of the program CMS is committed to diligently working with you to streamline the process as much as possible. Our goal is to further reduce burdensome requirements so that you can deliver the best possible care to patients.
13 Check Your Status Online
14 MIPS MIPS reporting is not limited to Medicare patients* (but some quality measures do have age ranges in their denominators, so pay attention to them) *Reporting the quality component by claims method is an exception
15 MIPS Score Performance Year 2017 Quality 60% ACI 25% Clinical Practice Improvement Activities 15% Cost 0% ACI = Advancing Care Information
16 CHOOSE YOUR COURSE OF PARTICIPATION Three options with regards to MIPS 3
17 MAXIMUM MIPS Clinicians can choose to report to MIPS for a full 90-day period (ideally, for the full year) and maximize the MIPS-eligible clinician s chances to qualify for a positive payment adjustment. In addition, MIPS-eligible clinicians who are exceptional performers in MIPS, as shown by the practice information that they submit, are eligible for an additional positive adjustment.
18 MODERATE MIPS Clinicians can choose to report to MIPS for less than the full-year 2017 performance period (but must report for a 90-day period at a minimum), and report more than one quality measure or improvement activity, or more than the required measures in the advancing care information performance category, in order to avoid a negative MIPS payment adjustment (and to possibly receive a positive MIPS payment adjustment).
19 MINIMUM MIPS Clinicians can choose to report one measure in the quality performance category or one activity in the improvement activities performance category, or report the required measures of the advancing care information performance category, and avoid a negative payment adjustment.
20 MINIMUM SCORE OF 3 For the 2017 transition year, if the measure is submitted but is unable to be scored because it does not meet the required case minimum (20), does not have a benchmark, or does not meet the data completeness requirement (at least 50% reporting rate), the measure will receive a score of 3 points.
21 WHAT ABOUT NO MIPS? -4% Four percent payment reduction on Medicare Part B Fee For Service Payments in 2019
22 MIPS Quality (60%) Choose 6 MIPS quality measures One must be an outcome measure (or, if no outcome is available, then a high-priority measure) All 6 must be reported by the same method

52 Advancing Care Information (Think Meaningful Use) In 2017, there are two measure set options for reporting. The option you use to submit your data is based on your electronic health record edition. Option 1: Advancing Care Information Objectives and Measures Option 2: 2017 Advancing Care Information Transition Objectives and Measures You can report the Advancing Care Information Objectives and Measures (Option 1): If you have technology certified to the 2015 edition; or If you have a combination of technologies from 2014 and 2015 editions that support these measures You can report the 2017 Advancing Care Information Transition Objectives and Measures (Option 2): If you have technology certified to the 2015 edition; or If you have technology certified to the 2014 edition; or If you have a combination of technologies from 2014 and 2015 editions
53 Advancing Care Information (25%) 4 Measures if using 2014 ONC- Certified EHR (Transition-Option 2)
54 Advancing Care Information (25%) 40% credit just for reporting the base measures Other 60% depends on performance and bonus measures No more clinical decision support rule No more CPOE CPOE = computer provider order entry
55 Total ACI Score Base Score + Performance Score + Bonus Points
56 ACI Base Score Base score: 10 points for reporting a measure Base score: Max 40 Need numerator to be 1 for each
57 MIPS ACI Base 4 Measures (Transition) Protect Patient Health Information (yes/no) MUST BE A YES OR RECEIVE A ZERO FOR ACI Electronic Prescribing At least one permissible prescription written by the MIPS-eligible clinician is queried for a drug formulary and transmitted electronically using certified EHR technology. Provide Patient Electronic Access Health Information For at least one unique patient seen by the MIPS-eligible clinician: (1) The patient (or the patient s authorized representative) is provided timely access to view online, download, and transmit his or her health information; and (2) The MIPS-eligible clinician ensures the patient's health information is available for the patient (or patient-authorized representative) to access using any application of their choice that is configured to meet the technical specifications of the Application Programing Interface (API) in the MIPS-eligible clinician's certified EHR technology. Send a Summary of Care For at least one transition of care or referral, the MIPS-eligible clinician who transitions or refers their patient to another setting of care or healthcare provider: (1) creates a summary of care record using certified EHR technology; and (2) electronically exchanges the summary of care record.
58 ACI Performance Score Performance Score: Receive 1-10 points for each measure reported, based on performance of that measure Performance Score: Maximum 70 points
59 ACI Bonus Points 5 bonus points for reporting to any additional public health or clinical data registry 10 bonus points for achieving one Improvement Activity via CEHRT CEHRT = certified electronic health record technology
60 ACI Performance and Bonus Measures 1. Provide patient electronic access (additional 10%) 2. Health information exchange (additional 10%) 3. View, download, or transmit (VDT) (up to 10%) 4. Provide patient-specific education (up to 10%) 5. Secure messaging (up to 10%) 6. Medication reconciliation (up to 10%) 7. Immunization registry reporting (0 or 10%) 8. Syndromic surveillance reporting (5% bonus) 9. Specialized registry reporting (5% bonus)
61 ACI Score 100 or above on ACI = full 25 MIPS points
62 ACI Total Score Reporting Score + Performance Score + Bonuses = Total ACI Score If earn 100 (or more), get the full 25 MIPS score If earn less than 100, declines proportionately. It is not all or nothing! 50 ACI points means 12.5 MIPS points
63 Clinical Practice Improvement Activities (15%) List of more than 90 options Choose up to 4 activities if in a group of more than 15 clinicians Choose up to 2 activities if in a group of 15 or fewer clinicians
64 Clinical Practice Improvement Activities (15%) Medium weight = 10 points High weight = 20 points Activities are double-weighted if practice in a group of fewer than 15 clinicians Score needed for full CPIA credit 40 CPIA points means 15 MIPS points
65 QPP.CMS.GOV

69 Annual Registration in the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Annual registration by eligible clinician or group in the prescription drug monitoring program of the state where they practice. Activities that simply involve registration are not sufficient. MIPS eligible clinicians and groups must participate for a minimum of 6 months. Subcategory Name: Patient Safety & Practice Assessment Activity Weighting: Medium
70 Cost (0% in 2017) Calculated by claims review, so no additional reporting Higher points for more efficient resource use Not implemented in 2017, but CMS is supposed to give providers this analysis so they can anticipate 2018
71 APMs Exempt from MIPS payment adjustments Successful participation = 5% bonus and no MIPS adjustment Have to receive certain amount of payments or see certain number of patients through APM
72 APMs Advanced APMs are those in which clinicians accept risk for providing coordinated, high-quality care
