Abstract:
This session will provide an overview of Medicare’s Quality Payment Program, focusing on the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). Updates will be provided on current program parameters, pathways for participation, changes in MIPS reporting requirements for audiologists, and how an audiologist can determine if participation is required. We will provide resources to identify the designated measures set for audiology and measure specifications and discuss the evolution of quality reporting as CMS continues to implement the MIPS Value Pathways framework.

Learning Objectives:

Discuss requirements for participation and reporting under the Merit-based Incentive Payment System
Identify quality measures in the designated measures set for audiology.
Discuss quality reporting, potential program changes, associated reimbursement impacts, and possible implications for audiologists.
