Overview: This webinar provides an overview of the MACRA legislation and developing regulations and guidelines. We'll help you understand how medical practices will be paid in the future for services to Medicare patients. You'll be asked to choose between two paths. If you choose to participate with other providers in an Advanced Payment Model, the larger organization will be paid for services provided and determine how to share those payments as well as any cost savings among the participants. If you choose the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), your payment rate will vary based on how you perform on a variety of Medicare Quality Programs - PQRS, VBM, Meaningful Use and a 4th new component focused on Quality Improvement. You'll want to know as much as possible about the pros and cons of each option and how to make the right choice for your practice. Why should you Attend: Under the MACRA legislation, your providers will need to choose between participating in an Advanced Payment Model (APM) or participating in the new Merit-Based Incentive Payment System. Making the wrong choice can result in significant reductions in your future Medicare payments. You'll want to understand the options and have a plan in place by January 1, 2017 - that's only 6 months away. Areas Covered in the Session: Learn the requirements of the new MACRA legislation and how it will impact your Medicare payments in 2019 and beyond Find out what you need to be doing now to ensure you don't lose Medicare revenue in future years Understand the options - APM vs MIPS - and how your Medicare payments can increase or decrease under each model Identify what aspects of the new payment methodology are written into the legislation, what has been released through proposed regulations and when final rules are expected. Who Will Benefit: Practice Administrators, CEOs, COOs Physicians and all providers who bill to Medicare Quality Officers Nurse leaders Finance Directors Speaker Pro

Getting patient referrals is a sign of a physician's expertise and goodwill in the healthcare industry. How medical practitioners can increase the number of referrals and earn reimbursements and incentives in QPP MIPS

Survival in the healthcare industry is getting tough day by day. The cost factor to provide value-based healthcare services is doing well in patients' favor, but it's also been a burden for physicians. While MIPS reporting services, MIPS Quality Measures are the parameters to show progress in terms of interoperability, cost, quality, and improvement activities.

Overview: This webinar will cover everything that you need to know about how to handle HIPAA security incidents, breaches, and complaints and the Department of Health and Human Resources Investigations thereof. Not all security incidents are breaches, but all breaches of confidentiality are within the broad ambit of security incidents. Privacy rule violations, such as failing to give a patient a copy of his or her medical records, may also constitute a breach as the $4.2 million fine assessed against Cignet Healthcare of Prince George's County, Maryland, dramatically proved. Handling an investigation properly is key to determining not only how to handle it to mitigate any harm and to take action to prevent it from happening again but also to determine whether it is reportable to affected individuals and to DHHS. HIPAA requires a complaint procedure (policy). The webinar will suggest what such a document should contain as it also will for the required report procedure (what is reportable, who reports, to whom, and required/suggested contents of the report) and the required response procedure (what do the responsible officials do after receiving the report or the complaint). Investigating a possible security incident is key. The webinar will cover how to conduct a thorough investigation of HIPAA security incidents, breaches, and patient complaints. Finally, the second largest HIPAA civil money penalty or settlement, $4.2 million, was in large part due to the offender's failure to cooperate with the DHHS investigation. The presenter has successfully defended his clients in seven such investigations and knows how to respond to them to avoid or minimize liability. Think of a gap analysis as an examination of: What you currently have in place for HIPAA compliance. Is that adequate? Can it be done better? Is it enough? And what am I missing? Asking these questions will help establish the direction and next steps to take. It lays the ground work for a good Risk Analys

"incentives plus information equals transformation"

MIPS put forwards the opportunity to get incentives and bonuses aside from the regular payment model. The revenue cycle runs smoothly, and also if a clinician performs well in all MIPS performance categories, he/she can earn a reputation in the healthcare industry among fellow physicians.

MIPS 2019 performance year is about to end. Only a little time is left until eligible clinicians can report for MIPS healthcare. MIPS put forwards the opportunity to get incentives and bonuses aside from the regular payment model.

Report and review data to Medicare for the MIPS 2019 performance categories before it's too late. March 31, 2020, is the last date to do it.

Before we go into the details, the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) comes under the direct obligation of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA), the law that regulates the incentive program across the US.

Practice management system helps manage the daily operations of an organization. The system helps organization (or facility) to settle meetings with specialists, record persistent information, keep up record, create last reports, etc. A medical practice management system provides staff members with real-time visibility into each patient's availability, enabling them to quickly identify potential scheduling problems. The system send email or text message (appointment reminders) to patients, reducing the possibility of a full-blown event that could negatively impact patient flow. Practice management system find wide application across various verticals in an industry. Increasing integration of healthcare system with practice management solutions is expected to propel the growth of the practice management system market. For instance, in January 2021, Brevium, an innovative SaaS company in the healthcare sector announced that it has extended the integration of its software with one of the premier electronic practice management systems in the U.S., Nextech. Moreover, rising incentives by federal government are also expected to foster the practice management system market growth.

Medical doctor (MD) and Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) are two different entities that work with the same mission but different approaches, as DO goes with a holistic approach for treatment. QPP MIPS, being an incentive payment program, allows them both to deliver quality healthcare to patients. However, there are a few commonly used MIPS Quality Measures that both doctors can use and register their value-based care. Last year, the condition was a little different with MIPS data submission, but for MIPS 2021, the requirements are seen to be a bit flexible, and the corona pandemic is the reason for that. From Advance Care Plan to the MIPS Quality Measures, associated with the common illnesses and conditions, eligible clinicians have to check which measures are most suitable for their practice. An easy way to go through the process of MIPS 2021 reporting is to find a MIPS Qualified Registry. They have the resources and the trained MIPS consultants to help you meet your objectives.
