The SVS will host a webinar Feb. 29 to help equip members with insights on impending Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) reporting requirements that impact vascular specialists.
Jessica Simons, MD, chair of the SVS Quality Improvement Committee, emphasized vascular surgeons’ role at the intersection of high-quality patient care and the financial viability of their practices.
“The SVS Quality Measures and Performance Committee [QPMC] is actively engaged in developing vascular-specific Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS)Value Pathways (MVPs) designed to optimize reporting and payment structures for our dedicated vascular specialists,” said Simons.
The webinar—“How Medicare Quality Requirements Will Impact Reimbursement”—aims to address the financial challenges posed by changes in reimbursement and government policies. Simons stressed the importance of adapting to current and future requirements to maintain high standards of care and ensure financial sustainability within the field.
CMS mandates that all healthcare providers, irrespective of their practice setting, submit quality measures through either MVP, MIPS or an Alternative Payment Model (APM). Effective reporting and compliance require the development of vascular-specific pathways as upcoming requirements have the potential to impact all SVS members.
In a collaborative effort, the SVS QPMC and the Quality Improvement Committee will provide insights during the webinar. Register for the webinar at vascular.org/QMPCwebinar
