1 MIPS FOR PPRNET MEMBERS A PRIMER AND WHAT YOUR PRACTICE NEEDS TO KNOW August 25, 2017 Ruth Jenkins, PhD Andrea Wessell, PharmD

2 GOALS Demystify the MIPS process Explain how scores will be determined and work through an example Demonstrate PPRNet tools that can be used to enable quality improvement Provide a MIPS encyclopedia reference

3 AGENDA Topic Slide Quality Payment Program 4 Merit-based Incentive Payment System Payment Adjustments 8 MIPS 2017 Performance Categories 10 Quality 12 Improvement Activities 23 Advancing Care Information 25 Scoring Example 43 PPRNet MIPS Tools & Solution 52 Next Steps 55 Physician Compare 58

4 QUALITY PAYMENT PROGRAM (QPP) The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) streamlined several payment programs Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS), Medicare Meaningful Use (MU), and Value-Based Payment Modifiers (VM) Rewards Medicare Part B clinicians via a performancebased payment system QPP includes two paths: Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) Advanced Alternative Payment Models (APMs)

5 HOW THE QPP WILL CHANGE MEDICARE PAYMENTS

6 WHO IS EXEMPT FROM MIPS? Enrolled in Medicare for the first time Below the Low-volume Threshold* Bill <= $30,000 in Medicare Part B charges OR Provide care for <= 100 Part B-enrolled Medicare beneficiaries Participating in Advanced APM Check your Participation Status: *You can elect to participate even if exempt Enter your NPI: PPRNet qpp.cms.gov/participation-lookup 2017

7 WHY REPORT? Avoid automatic -4% payment adjustment in 2019 Earn points toward neutral or positive adjustment in 2019

8 2019 PAYMENT ADJUSTMENTS Final Score Payment Adjustment >70 points Positive adjustment Eligible for exceptional performance bonus minimum of additional points Positive adjustment Not eligible for exceptional performance bonus 3 points Neutral payment adjustment 0 points Negative payment adjustment of -4% 0 points = does not participate

10 MIPS 2017 PERFORMANCE Cost Category=0% for 2017

11 PPRNET S QCDR SUBMISSION ROLE Approved by CMS as a Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) since 2015 QCDR is a type of submission mechanism PPRNet is approved to submit all 3 MIPS categories: 18 Quality Measures Improvement Activities Advancing Care Information (even if you submit your Quality data through another mechanism)

12 2017 MIPS - QUALITY PPRNet is approved for 18 Quality Measures Submit minimum of 6 measures (one must be an outcome measure) Receive 3 to 10 points on each quality measure based on performance against benchmarks Bonus points for additional outcome (2) and highpriority measures (1) (Max of 6 bonus points) Bonus points for end-to-end reporting (6 points) Maximum score of 60 points

13 PPRNET MIPS BENCHMARK REFERENCE

14 2017 MIPS SCORING FOR QUALITY Maximum score cannot exceed 100% *Maximum number of points = # of required measures x 10
