Got an Opinion on Medicare Quality Reporting?

Are you (or your practice) ready for Medicare’s new Quality Payment Program? The Council of Medical Specialty Societies (CMSS) is sponsoring a brief survey to gather information from physicians about their plans to participate in the new Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) or in “Advanced” Alternative Payment Models. The CMSS is asking member organizations to invite their members to participate in the survey. The survey is voluntary and anonymous. If enough psychiatrists complete it, APA will receive a summary of the findings, which can help inform APA’s advocacy and education on these new incentive programs. The survey, which closes on May 31, should take less than five minutes to complete. The survey can be accessed here. More information is available from Eileen Carlson, APA director of reimbursement policy, at [email protected] or (703) 907-8590. ■
