CMS continues the expansion of pay-for-performance (P4P) programs in the 2015 IPPS final rule. By 2017, performance under these metrics will impact up to 6% of the hospital’s traditional Medicare reimbursement. More than ever, coders need to understand how what they do affects their organization’s quality scores.
Join HCPro and expert speaker Shannon Newell, RHIA, CCS, AHIMA-approved ICD-10-CM/PCS trainer, at 1 p.m. (Eastern) Thursday, September 25, for the live 90-minute webcast, 2015 IPPS Final Rule: Focus on Quality Measures.
During the program, Newell will review the basics of the hospital-acquired condition reduction program, value-based purchasing program, and hospital readmissions reduction program, as well as CMS’ changes to the programs for 2015. Coders will learn how secondary conditions can exclude patients from consideration for quality measure and which comorbidities affect risk adjustment.
