Chronic Care Management (CCM) – A Gateway to Successful MIPS Reporting

Many providers across the nation are finding that participating in Medicare’s Chronic Care Management Services (CCM) program is a natural parallel to meeting requirements defined in the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), which was launched in October, 2017.

As the healthcare industry moves towards a value-based reimbursement model, practitioners across the nation are working to gain an understanding of what this means for their practices. 

On the heels of meaningful use, PQRS and value-based modifier reporting, congress passed the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA), which consolidated and replaced these former programs. MACRA incentivizes medical providers to deliver high-quality care through two Quality Payment Programs (QPPs), known as MIPS and Advanced APMs.
