5 THINGS TO DO IN DECEMBER TO END THE MIPS 2023 YEAR STRONG
As the clock winds down on the MIPS 2023 performance year, every medical practice and practice manager faces a crucial period. The final days are pivotal in ensuring a strong finish and maximizing your MIPS scores (and revenue potential). We know you are busy so with less than 4 weeks until the performance period ends here are some last minute tips!
1. Make EVERY Encounter Count in December: Don't miss any documentation for Quality measures or Promoting Interoperability! Every visit is a change to boost your score! This is the time for scores to go up not down. Many practices are doing the correct workflows to meet the measures, but correct documentation is also key to earning the points. This attention to detail can significantly influence your final scores.
2. Daily Review of Quality Measure Dashboard: Review your quality measure dashboard daily to identify and rectify any documentation errors promptly. This habit can prevent minor oversights from turning into significant issues. It can also avoid tons of work after the performance period ends.
3. Place Quality efforts on the RIght Measures: If you know the decile ranges for your measures you know what it takes to move the achievement point needle. Spend your time closing gaps where it will TRULY pay off.
4. Check Providers' Final Eligibility Status: It's imperative to confirm the final eligibility status of your providers. This step ensures that you submit all necessary data for each provider, leaving no stone unturned in your MIPS strategy.
5. Do Your Security Risk Analysis for Promoting Interoperability: So many practices think this is an EMR specific requirement or just writing a few things up will do the job. Ensure you are compliant with the actual policy so you don’t get caught now or later “checking the box!”
