MIPS and APM

Medicare Access and CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program) Reauthorization Act

  • Under this law the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services implemented a new payment mechanism to replace the SGR, known as the Quality Payment Program

  • Through the QPP Merit-based Incentive Payment System(MIPS) was created and emphasis was placed on Alternative Payment Models(APMs)

ECUP will see a 1.79% incentive for all of the Medicare patients we will see in 2019.

ECUP/VMG score is a 95.8% quality score under the new Medicare Quality system (MIPS)

Alternative Payment Models

  • APMs provide a model for paying physicians that differs from the traditional fee-for-service construct. The goal of APMs is to improve the quality and value of care provided, reduce growth in health care spending, or both.

  • CMS describes APMs as payment models that create incentives for clinicians to provide high-quality, cost-efficient care for a specific clinical condition, episode of care, or population.

APM

MIPS-APM

  • CMS created a separate scoring standard in the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) for certain APMs to avoid duplicative data reporting requirements for MIPS-eligible clinicians.

  • The models to which this scoring standard applies are referred to as MIPS APMs.

MIPS-APM

Advanced-APM

CMS has approved the following A-APMs for the 2017 performance year:

  • Comprehensive End-Stage Renal Disease Care—Two-Sided Risk
  • Comprehensive Primary Care Plus
  • Next Generation Accountable Care Organizations
  • Medicare Shared Savings Program Tracks 2 and 3 (Vidant Health)
  • Oncology Care Model—Two-Sided Risk
  • Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement Payment Model Track 1 with CEHRT requirements

A-APM

ACS-Brandeis A-APM

  • A-APM developed by ACS and Brandesis University

  • Episode Grouper for Medicare to group Medicare claims into episodes of care

  • PTAC approved the APM at its April 2017 meeting

  • The PTAC sent its formal recommendation to HHS Secretary

ACS-Brandeis A-APM

  • Vidant Health and ECU participate in Medicare Shared Savings Program

  • Vidant Health and ECU Physicians, the faculty practice of ECU’s Brody School of Medicine – saved Medicare more than $8.9 million last year on the health care provided to their 24,574 assigned beneficiaries.

  • ECU Physicians and Vidant Health received 44.6 percent of the savings they generated, or $3.9 million, as a performance payment.
