For many small and rural practices, compliance with MACRA/MIPS has become a task so significant, that some practices have given up, and are merging, becoming hospital employees, or having other major practice changing events.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has awarded funds to 11 community-based organizations to provide training and education about the Quality Payment Program (QPP) to clinicians in individual or small and rural practice groups.
Additional information is avialable on this ACR webpage and at the CMS website.
Enrolled MO HealthNet providers that provide imaging services are required to participate in this program. Each facility that intends to perform high-tech and/or cardiac imaging procedures for MO HealthNet participants must receive DiagnosticSite certification from HealthHelp by December 31, 2016. Download the MOHealthNet Provider Bulletin for more details.
