24 2017 Final Performance Report and Targeted Review Wrap-up
25 Audience Participation Poll Have you logged in to the QPP Portal and reviewed your 2017 MIPS Final Performance Feedback Report? o Yes o No o Waiting on my EIDM account o Not applicable 25
26 MIPS 2017 Final Report 26 Source: CMS
27 MIPS 2017 Final Report FAQs Question: Why am I receiving a low payment adjustment when I earned a high 2017 MIPS final performance score? Answer: CMS understood the QPP was a big change for clinicians and designed a scoring system that would reduce burden and increase flexibility during this transition year. As a result, 91 percent of MIPS-eligible clinicians participated successfully in With more clinicians participating, the distribution of incentive payments was widely spread. Because the MIPS payment adjustment is required to be budget neutral, a scaling factor is applied to positive 2019 MIPS payment adjustment factors, which may result in a lower adjustment than you may have anticipated. Clinicians who were required to participate and did not, received a four percent payment reduction. 27 Source: CMS
28 MIPS 2017 Final Report FAQs (cont.) Question: If we reported as a group, can we see a breakdown of scoring by clinician? Answer: Group submissions include aggregated data for all clinicians in the group, so your scoring information is only available at the group level. Question: In cases where an eligible clinician was a participant in a MIPS APM, like a Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) Track 1 (i.e., ACO), and he submitted data individually, which score will be awarded to him? Answer: If the eligible clinician was a QP in an ACO and submitted data as an individual, he will receive the score associated with the ACO, even if his individual score was higher. The ACO score trumps all others. 28 Source: CMS
29 What Is a Targeted Review? A Targeted Review is a process in which MIPS-eligible clinicians or groups can request that CMS review the calculation of their 2019 MIPS payment adjustment factor and, as applicable, their additional MIPS payment adjustment factor for exceptional performance. The deadline to submit a Targeted Review for 2017 is October 1, 2018, at 8 p.m. EDT. 29 Source: CMS
30 Targeted Review Webinar Join CMS on Tuesday, August 14, 2018, 2 3 p.m. EDT, for the following Webinar: Performance Feedback and Targeted Review Office Hours Session Register at: 30 Source: CMS
31 Targeted Review FAQs Question: We recently discovered our EHR vendor did not submit our data correctly. Is this something we should file a Targeted Review for? Answer: Yes, you should submit a targeted review request, which includes an explanation of what occurred (the issue) along with any supporting documentation to correct the original submission. This is not a guarantee the decision will be reversed it, but it s a start. Question: We would like to submit a targeted review for certain clinicians in our TIN. Should we request a Targeted Review at the TIN or individual NPI level? Answer: Submit the request at the level where you believe there is an issue. 31 Source: CMS
32 Targeted Review FAQs (cont.) Question: I practice in an area deemed by FEMA to be a disaster area. My 2017 MIPS Final Report shows a -4 percent payment adjustment. What should I do? Answer: CMS is aware of this issue and is currently working to resolve it for all impacted clinicians and groups under the Extreme Circumstance Policy. They are also working on the Advancing Care Information (now known as Promoting Interoperability) category reweight for eligible clinician types and working to resolve issues with practices that participated in the 2017 Improvement Activities study and did not receive full credit. There is no need to submit a Targeted Review for these issues as they will be addressed soon. 32 Source: CMS
