CMS is reviewing claims and letting practices know which clinicians need to take part in MIPS, the Merit-based Incentive Payment System – a core piece of the Quality Payment Program.
The MIPS Participation Status Letter – issued by the Medicare Administrative Contractor that processes Medicare Part B claims – will tell the participation status of each MIPS clinician associated with the Taxpayer Identification Number, or TIN, in a practice.
Clinicians should participate in MIPS for the 2017 transition year if they:
- Bill more than $30,000 in Medicare Part B-allowed charges a year AND
- Provide care for more than 100 Part B-enrolled Medicare beneficiaries a year
If your practice has not received a MIPS Participation Status Letter, contact the Medicare Administrative Contractor who processes your Medicare Part B claims.
