This presentation will review the changes to the Quality Payment Program (QPP) under MACRA as detailed in the 2020 QPP final rule.

These changes went into effect on January 1, 2020 giving practices little time to prepare. Key changes to the MIPS and to the Alternative Payment Model program that will have the greatest impact will be reviewed in detail.

In addition, other changes that may represent opportunities for performance will be highlighted. This discussion will also identify proven best practices for achieving optimal performance in the MIPS and in Alternative Payment Models.

Why you should Attend: A detailed understanding of MACRA is required in order for healthcare practices to perform well and avoid penalties. There are also significant monetary incentives built into the system.

The program is ramping up quickly as practices approach 2022, when the full MIPS program will go into effect.

Physicians and other clinicians, administrators, electronic health record professionals, health information technology professionals, auditors, compliance officers and others will need to be aware of the updated requirements in the 2020 Quality Payment Program final rule.
