This is an aggressive timeline. Reporting to start January 1, 2017 and the rule has not been finalized to date.
The new MIPS allows Medicare clinicians to be paid for providing high quality, efficient care through success in four performance categories.
There is a lot of flexibility with the MIPS program. It is not like the "all or nothing" Meaningful Use is, it has options for you to pick what best fits your practice.
