PQRS is a preview of Value Based Reimbursement (just look at the Value Based Payment Modifier)
Yes, data has driven reimbursement forever, but imagine how much more detail they’re going to require to get paid. Look at ICD-10.
The payer are just sitting in the corner and letting Medicare pave the way. Once they see what works they’ll pounce on it.
Applies to Reimbursement as well (not just clinical)
Newly insured, changing insurance, processing insurance plans, many now have high deductible plans, increased patient pay
What tools are you implementing to ensure quick patient collections? That payment portal looks more interesting now.
Patient engagement has been corrupted by the shiny government handouts
Will become a standard of care
