Proactively Prepare for MIPS Now-Your Future Self Will Thank You.

The message is clear-the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 represents a complete paradigm shift in our healthcare system, and its implementation will span several years. Consider it the shift from paying doctors using a traditional fee-for-service reimbursement model to one that pays according to the value that they provide to their patients, where "value" is defined by participation in several health IT and quality reporting programs. For many providers, this shift in thinking and their way of practicing medicine will be one of the greatest challenges of their career. The best thing you can do is to proactively prepare for the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System now. Your future self will thank you.
