Docs left in the dark by CMS over MACRA compliance requirements

Doctors are potentially facing a loss of millions in Medicare reimbursement dollars due to lack of MACRA-related guidance from the CMS.

Under MIPS, physician pay will be based on success in four performance categories: quality, resource use, clinical practice improvement, and “advancing care information” through use of health information technology. The latter is based on the meaningful-use program the government has used to decide whether doctors should be rewarded for using electronic health records.

Medicare reimbursement for providers in 2019 will be based on how well doctors perform on these metrics this year. Under MIPS, physicians can earn plus or minus 4% of reimbursement in 2019.
