MIPS: Steps to Take in 2016 Webinar [VIDEO and PowerPoint Slides]
This was the second webinar in our series on MIPS which was aimed at providing information on what you need to do in 2016 to avoid 2018 payment penalties under Medicare. We reviewed the 3 current quality programs: Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS), Value-based Modifier Program (VBM) and Meaningful Use (MU).
This series was held live from August through September 2016. A recorded version of this webinar can be found on our YouTube page.
