ACCME Comments to CMS on MACRA Proposed Rule

6/16/2016

 
Today, the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) submitted its comments to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) regarding the executive agency's recent proposed rulemaking on the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) outlined in the 2015 Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA). The ACCME's comments focus on the ways that the national CME system can support the implementation of MIPS and the improvements that the Council believes should be incorporated into a final rule. 
Specifically, the ACCME requests that CMS recognize relevant performance and quality improvement accredited CME as a clinical practice improvement activity within MIPS. The letter also asks CMS to designate ACCME's Program and Activity Reporting System (PARS) as a reporting mechanism for clinical practice improvement activities under the new merit-based payment system.

The full comments are below.
