"Payment models are getting even more complex and it is critical to have a specialized focus on areas that affect our client's reimbursements such as the Physicians Quality Reporting System (PQRS) and QCDR," comments Tony Mira, CEO of ABC and MiraMed Global Services. "Utilizing these sophisticated tools ensures compliance to these programs and allows our clients to focus on patient care and promoting other programs that surround them such as the Perioperative Surgical Home."
The QCDR is a new mechanism for eligible professionals (EPs) to report data on their performance to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). CMS currently reimburses about one-third of anesthesia care in the United States and almost every practice derives a portion of its income from CMS. CMS has been at the forefront of responding to public demand for transparent reporting of healthcare quality from both hospitals and providers. This has led to steadily escalating requirements for performance reporting.
"We are proud to offer a solution geared towards our client's workflows without adding undue burden," says Bryan Sullivan, Chief Quality Officer. "By managing a QCDR, we are able to directly prepare our clients to meet these changing requirements without involving any third parties or slowing down the process. All billing, quality and compliance can be managed within a single organization to bring a more streamlined and financially viable solution to the market. We are happy to support billing clients of ABC as well as non-billing clients of ABC to our QCDR and look forward to the long partnership with the industry and government on these programs."
