Tip: Submit your hardship applications ASAP. If your practice was impacted by disaster this year, you can still submit a hardship application for 2018. Disasters and unforeseeable events cause harm to practices, hospitals, and communities. Medicare providers participating in the Quality Payment Program (QPP), who’ve been hit by catastrophe may submit hardship exception applications for the CY 2018 year through Dec. 31, 2018, notes an MLN Connects release. Find out more about your options, the application process, and the timeline at www.cms.gov/Outreach-and-Education/Outreach/FFSProvPartProg/Provider-Partnership-Email-Archive-Items/2018-08-09-eNews.html?DLPage=1&DLEntries=10&DLSort=0&DLSortDir=descending#_Toc521478775.
