This is the first post in my “In The KNOW series”
In this episode we look at the CMS 126v4 measure- Use of Appropriate Medications for Asthma for the Attestation year – 2017 for eligible EPs.
As per CMS FINAL Rule in October 2016- this above measure has been permanently removed from the 2017 MIPS reporting. This decision was made based on high performance numbers and resulting minimal variation in care.
Whether this is your first year or not, when attesting for any Incentive Programs (PQRS/Medicare EHR/Medicaid EHR), make sure the information for the Provider your are attesting for or the information for the qualified clinic/provider group is correct.
The last thing you need is to find out that CMS or Medicaid has the wrong NPI or Tax ID on file. This will hinder your attestation and will create nothing but delays that would draw a thin line between you receiving that incentive or getting a penalty letter.
