  4. Merit Based Payment

  5. Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization (MACRA) Act of 2015

  6. Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) The MIPS is a new program that combines parts of the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS), the Value Modifier (VM or Value-based Payment Modifier), and the Medicare Electronic Health Record (EHR) incentive program into one single program in which Eligible Professionals (EPs) will be measured on: • Quality • Cost • Improvement Activities • Advancing Care Information

  9. ICD-10CM Fall from Grace October 1, 2016, will mark the end of a one-year “grace period” that allowed unspecified ICD-10-CM & Improperly Sequenced codes on certain physician Medicare claims to be reimbursed. The grace period was a joint initiative between the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the American Medical Association, created to help ease the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 for physician practices.

  12. What’s The Difference • Other – you’ve documented something so specific there’s no code for the disease. • Unspecified – your documentation is weak
