About MIPS-QCDR
MIPS and MSN
MSN has recognized the need to support physician groups following Medicare’s announced intention to transition from the Physician Fee Schedule to a value-based reimbursement model. That means MSN has been involved with the implications of the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) from the start of the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) to the its inception of MIPS and our services have been refined and expanded to meet the changing needs of the healthcare industry.
What does that mean to your organization?

- Your organization is represented by MSN in meetings with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
