Prepare for MIPS/MACRA 2023

It’s that time again to make sure your practice is on track for reporting MACRA/MIPS for 2023.  Below are some resources to assist you in understanding the MIPS/MACRA requirements for 2023.

2023 Interventional Cardiology CPT Code Changes

The following information details Interventional Cardiology CPT changes for 2023 which may impact your practice. There are nine new Category I codes and three new Category III codes, two of which are add-on codes to the main procedure. Be sure to review below, update or create new report templates, and share with your practice management team(s) in preparation for January 1st in order to avoid billing and reimbursement delays.

EHR Application Speed and Performance

Many practice owners try to cut corners to save money by buying “consumer” grade equipment and getting IT advice from relatives and friends.  Do yourself a favor and invest in your medical office IT network by working with IT professionals and installing business-grade computer equipment. 

Update Your 2022 MIPS Quality Measures Today

If you haven’t already, you should analyze your 2021 MIPS participation and performance and notify your StreamlineMD representative on the Quality Measures you will be using for 2022.

Safeguard Your EHR Against a RAC Review

When the RAC team evaluates your data, they use a checklist based on the Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs) issued by the Medicare Administrators. Documentation and compliance with your LCD are key for reimbursement.  Inadequate notes will fail review if the documentation does not adhere to the pre-determined requirements set forth by your LCD. 

Update Your Computer Device Operating System

Keeping your computer operating system updated is critically important for your digital safety, cyber security, and overall Electronic Health Record (EHR) software performance experience.
