On April 26, 2016, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released the detailed proposals that would determine the implementation of an updated pay-for-performance system for physicians in Medicare. Since legislation passed creating this new system one year ago, ASH has released reviews of the two paths available for physicians, the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) or participation in Alternative Payment Models.
ASH, ASCO, and ACCC are all reviewing and will issue more detail and guidance soon.
