The Time Has Come: MACRA and MIPS - If you’re nervous about this, it’s okay. There is a lot to process in the new Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) that has been created out of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA). MIPS rolls up PQRS, Physician Value-Based Modifiers, Advancing Care Information (formerly known as the EHR Incentive Program and Meaningful Use), as well as Alternative Payment Models. We’re more committed and experienced than ever to advise, guide, and assist you in dealing with the impact of Meaningful Use Stage 3 which has been redefined via MACRA and MIPS. And we’re on the move once again to help you thrive, not just survive. Read more about our plans on the blog.
Upcoming Webinar:
Introduction to MIPS:
During this hour-long discussion we'll introduce you to the basics of MIPS, what you should be doing now to prepare for it and what you can expect in 2017 (based on current regulations).

It's That Easy: Modifying Multiple Charges - Did you know you can fix multiple charge items at once if you forgot to change the facility or provider, or even if the patient’s insurance changed? To do so, in the Review Charges sub-tab, highlight the charges you want to edit (using the Shift or Ctrl key) and click the “Edit” button at the bottom. Then follow these steps to enter your modifications and BAM, you are done.
