• How to utilize more/different/better measures
• How to understand the impact of the Cost category

Join us on an upcoming webinar where Healthmonix CEO Lauren Patrick, SunCoast RHIO CEO Lou Galterio and Healthcare Consultant Dan Hogan break down why MIPS is the best entry point to tie together technical and non-technical aspects of your practice. During the session, we will uncover how the drive towards interoperability is a drive towards the integration of all government programs with "Quality". You will learn about the following:

• What is meant by "Interoperability"
• How the MIPS programs give you revenue insights
• Why MIPS participation is a step towards program compliance
• How using MIPS with CQMs address documentation accuracy
• Why Cost is the most important category of MIPS
• How it is being tested in commercial MAO

CMS has released the 2021 Final Rule and two things are clear: MIPS is becoming harder, but the potential bonus incentives are higher than ever before.  Join us on an upcoming webinar where Healthmonix MIPS Specialist Mike Lewis breaks down the Final Rule and how you can capitalize on higher incentives.  You will learn about CMS-finalized rules that will increase your potential reimbursement, gain an understanding of measure and threshold changes, uncover a new reporting method for ACOs, and learn the importance of the Cost category moving forward. 

Join the Healthmonix team and Chirpy Bird, Inc. for a fireside chat on the future of the Quality Payment Program (QPP). During this session, we will take a deep dive into what the 2021 Final Rule indicates about the future of value-based care, discuss how our team sees the impact of the Final Rule on your bottom line, review the Cost category and why you should start paying attention to it, and cover the Healthmonix approach to conquering MIPS.

Are you ready for the 2021 E/M changes?

On Jan. 1, 2021 CPT E/M coding will undergo the largest change since the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) introduced the 1997 documentation guidelines for E/M services. We're joined by Eli Freilich, MD, CHCQM-PHYADV, CCDS, Enjoin Medical Director and Schuyler Connell, D.H.Sc, ML, CPC, CCS, Enjoin Operations Manager, who will break down the changes and potential impacts to MIPS and other value-based payment programs, in addition to providing recommendations for success.
