Pathology practices are entering a new value-based payment era and the ability to successfully demonstrate contributions to the quality of care provided will likely have a significant impact on their ability to positively impact their own reimbursement in the Merit-based Incentive Payment System, also known as MIPS. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has finalized several changes to the program for 2019, which is year 3 of MIPS.

In this CAPcast, Dr. Emily Volk, vice chair of the CAP’s Council on Government and Professional Affairs and chair of the CAP Qualified Clinical Data Registry Ad Hoc Committee, discusses what pathologists need to know and do for 2019 in order to be successful in year 3 of the program.
