Exploring Regulatory Requirements The Clinician and Group CAHPS survey requirement is becoming a reality. Is your medical practice prepared? The ACO CAHPS survey is required for every Medicare Accountable Care Organization. PQRS CAHPS survey is mandatory for many large medical groups and the participation is expanding to include many smaller practices. The Physician Value-Based Payment Modifier, similar to Value-Based Purchasing for hospitals, affects reimbursement for all physicians in 2017 (even single-doctor practices), forcing all providers to evaluate submitting patient experience results to CMS. Do you know what your patients think? Are your patients loyal? Are you growing market share? How do you compare to the competition? Measuring patient experience helps improve your practice, identify opportunities for growth and ensure fulfillment of pay-for-performance regulatory requirements. This session will help attendees learn more about what is coming and how best to prepare for it. Medical Practice, Regulatory Requirements, ACO/PCMH
