Read Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should You Attend:

The Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) is a mandatory program for eligible Medicare clinicians. It is a component of the CMS Quality Payment Program. Practically 800,000 clinicians will be enrolled in the MIPS in 2020. Reporting requirements for this program are complicated and in many cases subject to interpretation. The presenter has had extensive interactions with CMS to obtain clarifications on a wide range of requirements for the program. MIPS Data Validation Audits are underway, and expected to identify numerous shortcomings that will result in penalties.

This presentation will identify common vulnerabilities in the MIPS program at a granular level and provide guidance on how to minimize the risk of a negative audit.

The complicated nature of the MIPS has created a program vulnerable to interpretation of complex guidelines. Practices are at risk for being penalized up to 9% of their Medicare Part B revenue based on 2020 performance if Medicare invalidates the data reported due to lack of documentation or other issues.

Based on audits performed for similar programs, CMS will likely recoup large sums of money from practices of all sizes. In most cases, the reporting errors will be due to lack of understanding of the detailed requirements of the MIPS.
