Download the New Clinical Update

Name: OC3TUpdate201704.01
Release Date: 05/22/2017
Update Utility: ADL Updater
Webinar Date: 05/15/2017

 
Technical Notes:
 
A new version of ADLUpdater (v3.02) is being release: This is to support the new WebService module at the same time as OC3TUpdate201704.01 is released. Also, there was a bug where the ADLUpdater was not restarting automatically after applying an update to itself. This bug is fixed in the upcoming version 3.02. This update is going to be self-applied by the ADLUpdater upon launch as usual. However once version 3.02 is applied, the ADLUpdater will need to be started manually to apply the OC3TUpdate201704.01 package. With all future updates, the ADLUpdater should be able to restart automatically after updating itself.

ADL Updates must be applied sequentially according to release date, in the order specified in the ADL Updates Installation Guide. Please view our instructional webinar for Applying ADL Software Updates.

CMS Releases Lookup Tool to Help Clinicians Determine their MIPS Participation Status

Quality Payment Program

Check if you’re included in MIPS. Now you can check if a clinician who bills to Medicare will need to submit data to MIPS.

The Quality Payment Program improves Medicare by helping you focus on care quality. The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) ended the Sustainable Growth Rate formula, which threatened clinicians participating in Medicare with potential payment cliffs for 13 years. If you participate in Medicare Part B, you serve more than 55 million of the country’s most vulnerable Americans, and the Quality Payment Program will provide new tools and resources to help you give your patients the best possible care. You can choose how you want to participate based on your practice size, specialty, location, or patient population.

The Quality Payment Program has two tracks you can choose:

  • Advanced Alternative Payment Models (APMs) or
  • The Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS)
  •  
    If you decide to participate in an Advanced APM, through Medicare Part B you may earn an incentive payment for participating in an innovative payment model.

    If you decide to participate in MIPS, you will earn a performance-based payment adjustment.
