Webinar on PQRS in 2016 - Keys for Success

Overview: This webinar will cover the changes to the PQRS program in 2016 and will provide tips and strategies to help you select the best measures and reporting approach for your practice.

Why should you Attend: Your future Medicare payments are at risk. Failing to report quality measures to CMS for Calendar Year 2016 will result in a reduction of up to 6% in your 2018 Medicare payments. The PQRS program carries a potential 2% penalty for each provider who does not report quality measures to CMS - physicians, mid-level providers, therapists, psychologists, social workers, even dieticians. 

In addition, if your practice has physicians and mid-levels, at least half the physicians must meet the PQRS requirements or the group will face an additional 2-4% penalty from the Value Based Modifier program. 

Areas Covered in the Session:

• Understand the difference between a reporting rate and a performance rate?
• Get access to useful tools to help you identify measures applicable to your specialty.
• Learn how to choose among the various reporting approaches - what are the pros and cons of each.
• Understand how CMS will evaluate your submission if you report less than 9 measures.

Who Will Benefit:

• Practice Administrators
• All providers who bill to Medicare including Physicians (All specialties), Podiatrists, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, Psychologists, LCSW, Physical and Occupational Therapists, Speech/Language Pathologists, etc.
• Quality Officers
• Nurse leaders
• Finance Directors
