Feds offer new physician incentive program
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced new opportunities for clinicians who treat Medicare patients to join incentive programs aimed at improving healthcare quality while saving money.
The agency’s Advanced Alternative Payment Models are funded by the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 and are part of the CMS Quality Payment Program. Clinicians who participate may earn a 5-percent incentive payment through participation in one of a number of programs in 2017.
Programs include Medicare Shared Savings, ACO models, and models designed for clinicians practicing specific areas of medicine. For more information, click here.
