Outsource Your Medical Billing

Posted by ProMD on November 20th, 2017

The 2018 MACRA (Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act) final rule was recently made available by the CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services). The following are some of the things you'll want to know about the final rules so that you can begin considering future IT and organizational planning for your practice:

Increased MIPS Exemptions - The number of clinicians subject to the MIPS (Merit-Based Incentive Payment System) will be reduced to roughly 622,000. Last year, the CMS only exempted providers with less than ,000 in Medicare Part B revenue or who saw less than a hundred Medicare Part B patients each year. This year, exemptions will be expanded to providers with less than ,000 in Medicare Part B revenue or who see less than 200 Medicare Part B patients. These exemptions will help exclude 123,000 more clinicians from the MIPS.
