New MIPS Updates Reflect 'Promoting Interoperability' Rebrand
Published on Tue May 22, 2018
CMS revised all of its Quality Payment Program (QPP) materials on May 11 to reflect the renamed Merit-Based Incentive Payment Program (MIPS) technical component, Promoting Interoperability or PI for short. Much of the language and guidance remains the same but is now tweaked with new PI wordplay. A "Frequently Asked Questions" section has been added to shed light on the PI transitions, categories, and more. See how PI impacts MIPS-eligible clinicians for 2018 and beyond at www.cms.gov/Medicare/Quality-Payment-Program/Resource-Library/2018-Promoting-Interoperability-Fact-Sheet.pdf.
