Register Now: Quality Payment Program Education Session

USA Physicians Group invites you to a Quality Payment Program Education Session on Jan. 30, 2018, from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Strada Patient Care Center. Physicians, residents and advanced practice providers are encouraged to register.

The goal of the event is to increase provider awareness and knowledge of the merit-based incentive payment system (MIPS), Medicare access and CHIP reauthorization of 2015 (MACRA) and the transforming clinical practice initiative (TCPi). The session will focus on the effect MIPS, MACRA and TCPi has on outpatient reimbursement and address the question “How are we as a network positioning ourselves to do well?”

The session will feature Tina Whited, quality improvement advisor and performance manager for TCPi. The Medical Association of the State of Alabama and the Medical Society of Mobile will feature a representative from Warren Averett CPAs and Advisors.

“With much of Medicare and nearly 50 percent of the largest commercial plans’ medical spending going to alternative payment models, not learning how to practice value-based care will lead to business failure and bankruptcy,” said Dr. Allen Perkins, professor and chair of family medicine at the USA College of Medicine. “All providers should take advantage of this opportunity to learn how to deliver better, more efficient patient-centered care.”

Hors d’oeuvres, wine and beer will be provided.
