CME COalition Submits Comments on MACRA

6/27/2016

 
The CME Coalition recently submitted comments to CMS to encourage the agency to include continuing medical education (CME) within the definition of clinical practice improvement activities (CPIA) under the new Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS).  As the Coalition explains, "CME has long been recognized as an effective means by which physicians demonstrate engagement in continued professional development. Consistent with the intent of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA), CME encourages physicians to develop and maintain the knowledge, skills, and practice performance that leads to optimal patient outcomes. Simply put, without translating the new payment system into meaningful actions for physicians, the promise of MACRA will never be fully achieved."
