ACO members get the best of both worlds - when you help
TINs can submit data in addition to ACO data
CMS gives ACO members the higher of the two scores for MIPS. And the process you create to gather your data for MSSP submission (starting in 2021) can generate the data your TINs use to submit their own CQMs. Our tools make it all a snap.
The dollars are as great as MSSP Shared Savings (or Losses)
Some years, ACOs don't have shared savings to distribute, but every year MACRA imposes penalty or reward. And once MACRA hits full swing, the potential positive adjustments are +19% of Medicare receipts, and penalties -9%. When you consider overall Part B Billings, MACRA can be bigger then Shared Savings or Losses, even in a good year for the ACO.
It is not extra effort, but a by-product of a normal TIN management program
As you interact with TINs to obtain CQM source data, that very interaction can be part of what they use to submit directly to CMS. There is virtually no extra work - just extra insight.
You can turn it all to a huge provider relations (and financial) bonanza
A High-Performance Monthly MACRA program can show providers your level of compassion for their Medicare Revenues. If you dedicate the right resources, tools, and people to MACRA, you will earn provider gratitude, and assure that you don't lose providers, for reasons completely apart from your core mission. You never asked to be responsible for MACRA, but your providers won't necessarily see it that way if things go wrong.
