Act of 2015

7 Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS)
The MIPS is a new program that combines parts of the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS), the Value Modifier (VM or Value-based Payment Modifier), and the Medicare Electronic Health Record (EHR) incentive program into one single program in which Eligible Professionals (EPs) will be measured on: Quality Cost Improvement Activities Advancing Care Information

11 ICD-10CM Fall from Grace October 1, 2016, will mark the end of a one-year “grace period” that allowed unspecified ICD-10-CM & Improperly Sequenced codes on certain physician Medicare claims to be reimbursed. The grace period was a joint initiative between the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the American Medical Association, created to help ease the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 for physician practices.

12 Sequencing

13 Other & Unspecified

14 What’s The Difference Other – you’ve documented something so specific there’s no code for the disease. Unspecified – your documentation is weak

15 Excludes 1 & 2

16 What? Excludes 1 – never billed with the primary code
Excludes 2 – a patient may have both conditions at the same time

31 SOURCE: Chronic Condition Data Warehouse (CCW)
SOURCE: Chronic Condition Data Warehouse (CCW). Medicare Beneficiary Summary Files. Description: The conditions with the highest period prevalence rates are hypertension (57%) and hyperlipidemia (47%). Nearly one-third of the population has been treated for rheumatoid/osteo-arthritis (30%), ischemic heart disease (29%), and diabetes (28%). Technical notes: Period prevalence is calculated for these rates. Beneficiaries with full or nearly full fee-for-service (FFS) coverage during the year who received treatment for the condition within the condition-specified look back period. Chronic conditions have a 1 to 3 year look-back time period. Please refer to the CCW Chronic Condition Categories for algorithm criteria. Denominator is all who were enrolled in Medicare on or after January 1, 2013 and had full or nearly full FFS coverage (i.e., 11 or 12 months of Medicare Part A and B [or coverage until time of death] and one month or less of HMO coverage). Only females are included in the denominator for endometrial and female breast cancer; only males are included for prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Beneficiaries may be counted in more than one chronic condition category.

32 Risk Adjustment Factor
The purpose for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to conduct Risk Adjustment Factors is to pay plans for the risk of the beneficiaries they enroll, instead of calculating an average amount of Medicare/Medicare Advantage beneficiaries
