How Pathologists Can Thrive in MIPS and Other Value-Based Payment Programs

Pathologists could lose, or gain, $2.1 billion over seven years in Medicare’s new quality payment programs. This represents the difference between pathologists gaining the full possible Medicare payment bonuses or receiving the payment penalties. Pathologists need to understand Medicare’s merit-based incentive payment system (MIPS) program as it relates to reducing the burden of participating, understanding and maximizing scoring, and seeking measures and improvement activities with maximum scoring and bonus point potential, explain Drs. Emily Volk and Diana Cardona in this CAPcast. Drs. Volk and Cardona are leading a CAP19 session on Monday, September 23 at 9:30am. Register now for CAP19: www.capannualmeeting.org.
