On November 4, 2016, CMS published the Medicare Program Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and Alternative Payment Model (APM) Incentive under the Physician Fee Schedule and Criteria for Physician-Focused Payment Models final rule (MACRA). The team at SLI ComplianceSM wants to share the following highlights to help you keep as up-to-date as possible on these changes and how they may affect you.
MACRA (Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act) has created two tracks for providers – MIPS (Merit-Based Incentive Payment Systems) and APMs (Advanced Alternative Payment Systems). These tracks will be replacing existing programs and parts of the current EHR Incentive program (i.e., Meaningful Use). It is important to know that even with the replacement of Meaningful Use, the new incentive payment tracks will still require the use of ONC Health IT Certified technology.
So, how do know what your technology will need to be tested and certified to?

Knowing what 2015 edition criteria you need to test will help you understand where your development effort may need more focus. At SLI Compliance, our goal is to keep our customers updated and informed on requirements to minimize any risk of overdeveloping for new criteria.
