Dr. Ame

Transition to MIPS

On this week’s MAG episode, I hosted Dr. Adrienne Mims, Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, Medicare Quality Improvement for Alliant Quality, to talk about the transition to the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS).

Adrienne Mims, M.D., MPH, is the vice president and chief medical officer for Alliant GMCF. Board certified in family medicine and geriatrics, she has more than 30 years of primary care, consultative and home care geriatric experience. Dr. Mims serves on a number of boards, including the American Health Quality Association (the trade association for Medicare Quality Improvement Organizations), the Georgia Academy of Family Physicians, and the PCPI (the national organization that develops quality measures for all specialties).

In addition, the MAG member serves on the NCQA Geriatric Measurement Advisory Panel and the NCQA Clinical Programs Committee.  Dr. Mims was the medical director of the Georgia Medicaid Management Program, and she was the director of prevention health promotion and research with The Southeast Permanente Medical Group in Atlanta.

Dr. Mims completed her undergraduate training at George Washington University, her medical school at Stanford University, her residency at the Martin Luther King Jr./Charles Drew Medical Center, and her geriatric fellowship at the West Los Angeles VA. She also has an MPH in epidemiology from UCLA. It is imperative for medical practices to make a successful transition to Medicare’s new Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS).

Instead of the EHR (Electronic Health Record) or the PQRS (Physician Quality Reporting System) or the Value-based Payment Modifier programs, the government will employ a single payment platform

– which is the result of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) that was signed into law in 2015. The new payment model will be based on a 100-point MIPS Composite Performance Score. That CPS will determine your Medicare payment adjustment – either up or down.

This is scheduled to commence in 2019, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will use the 2017 calendar year as the basis for the initial reimbursement – keeping mind this is not an optional process.

Special Guest:

Dr. Adrienne Mims, Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, Medicare Quality Improvement, Alliant Quality
