2015 Update: Medicare Penalty Programs (PQRS, Value-Based Modifiers)

Can your medical practice afford a 7-9% drop in your Medicare payments? Medicare programs that started out as incentives have now completely transitioned to full penalty programs. Payments in 2017 may be reduced by as much as 9% if you fail to successfully participate in Medicare Penalty Programs such as PQRS, Value-Based Modifiers (VBM) or Meaningful Use.

The most important thing to understand about these programs is that you must participate each year in order to avoid penalties 2 years in the future. And the requirements change annually (sometimes more often).
