Question & Answer: The Quality Payment Program and Accountable Care Organizations
As Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) are becoming more common, many practices and systems have questions related to how they fit into the Medicare Quality Payment Program’s Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) with their ACO connection. Few ACOs in 2017 meet the criteria for an Advanced Alternative Payment Model (APM), and the majority would fall into a MIPS APM model. This article contains edited Q&As with questions from MIPS APMs and answers from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Quality Payment Program (QPP) Support Team.
