Financial Disclosure NONE 2

Big Data, Big Insights 3,000 ophthalmologists who participated in IRIS Registry in 2014 submitted their data to CMS Savings = $24.3 million through incentives earned and penalties avoided Having more data enables us to make evidence-based decisions, improve care & empower patients 3

Big Data, Enhancing Patient Care It s hard for us to look at our data objectively. The IRIS Registry has the potential to provide us with that objective feedback and with that feedback, frankly, we can do a better job of taking care of patients. George Williams, MD, Secretary for Federal Affairs 4

IRIS Registry: Current Stats (July 1, 2017) Contracted o 16,737 physicians from 5,097 practices Total for EHR Integration o 13,199 physicians from 3,176 practices Number of patient visits o 147.65 million, representing 37.26 million patients 5

Unprecedented Access to Address Increasing Regulatory Burdens 10

CMS Proposes Significant Relief from 2018 Penalties Academy launched regulatory relief effort late last year in response to the election outcome Got the AMA to weigh in that 2018 penalties must be revisited Built coalition with Dermatology, Rheumatology, Neurology, ENTs, Urology, Oncology, Retina & Glaucoma groups 11

Ophthalmology s 2018 Fee Schedule Issues Potential for Big Win PQRS, Value-based Modifier Changes Reimbursement All RUC Values approved Opportunities for practice expense increases Pitfalls in malpractice valuation Threat to watch CMS looking at revising E&M guidelines Another shot to ask for more regulatory relief 12

Regulatory Relief, IRIS Registry Empowerment Academy Asks include: o Amend legacy quality programs for 2018 payments o o o o Shield Part B drug payments from QPP penalties Expand MIPS recognition of IRIS Registry participation Revise the Quality Payment Program Simplify Medicare Advantage s Prior-Authorization 13

Regulatory Relief Next Steps CMS will consider the Academy s comments before it finalizes its fee schedule in November 2017. Academy also pursuing several legislative solutions to the issues we ve raised. 14

2018 Medicare Payments Look Better for Ophthalmology Overall No misvalued codes identified for ophthalmology and only a few remaining left to review from previous targeted codes. Overall rule shows there is zero impact to ophthalmology from policies contained in the proposed rule. 15
