Join Webinar on June 8 to Learn More about the Resource Use Performance Category
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) invites the public to join an upcoming listening session to learn more about the Resource Use performance category, which is part of the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) proposed in the recently released Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM).
MIPS: Resource Performance Category Overview
- Date: Wednesday, June 8, 2016
- Time: 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. ET
- Register: To participate, visit the registration webpage.
- Details: This webinar will provide an overview of the MIPS Resource Use performance category, as outlined in key provisions of the recently released MACRA NPRM.
One of the four proposed performance categories included in MIPS, the Resource Use category would account for nearly 10 percent of the MIPS score in the first year. The proposal would replace the Value Modifier for Medicare physicians. During this webinar, CMS subject matter experts will discuss the proposed category’s principal changes from Value Modifier, and how CMS envisions its measures can provide clinicians with the information they need to deliver the appropriate care and advance the health outcomes for their patients.
Please note: Participants are invited to share initial comments or questions using the webinar’s chat feature and during the Q&A portion of the webinar, but only comments formally submitted through the process outlined in the Federal Register will be taken into consideration by CMS. See the proposed rule for information on how to submit a comment. Comments are due by 5:00 p.m. ET (for mail or courier submissions) and 11:59 p.m. ET (for electronic submissions) on June 27, 2016.
