Ep. 20: MIPS Changes for Performance Year 2022 Explained: Tips, Insights, and Best Practices for Success
10/13/21 • 31 min
It’s difficult to believe, but 2022 is just around the corner – and with it a new set of MIPS (Merit-based Incentive Payment System) updates for practices to digest and incorporate into their strategy. While adjusting to each year’s new MIPS rules is an annual challenge many providers are familiar with, performance year 2022 will bring changes more significant than those seen in previous years.
In this episode, we sit down with Beth Hickerson, MIPS expert and Medical Advantage’s Senior Consultant for Quality and Healthcare Transformation. Listen in to hear Hickerson share insights about coming changes to MIPS – including the removal of the Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances (EUC) Policy, increased performance thresholds, the fact that Quality and Cost Categories will now be rated equally, and more.
In addition, Hickerson shares tips and guidance from a career of assisting organizations with MIPS, and best practices healthcare entities can keep top-of-mind to succeed in the long game that is MIPS.
