The election period to form a virtual group for the 2019 Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) performance year is now open. These groups give participants the opportunity to coordinate resources that can help achieve and meet requirements under each MIPS performance category. A virtual group may be formed by location, specialty or shared patient population. If you fall within the criteria of those who can participate, apply today. More information can be found in the 2019 Toolkit, which includes a fact sheet, information on the election process, an agreement template and a sample email for election submission. The application deadline for a virtual group and its members is Dec. 31, 2018.
