It is important for practices with Medicare patients to report some quality information to CMS BEFORE October 2, 2017, or risk a reduction in Medicare fee reimbursement starting in 2019. This is a critical time to prevent a reduction in your fees. Please contact Cathy Nelson if you need additional assistance at cnelson@mpqhf.org or 808-440-6007.
