SUMMARY:Deadline to Request MIPS Targeted Review
DESCRIPTION:Oct. 5 – Deadline to Request MIPS Targeted Review\n\nClinicians who participated in the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) in 2019 can review their performance feedback\, MIPS final score\, and 2021 payment adjustment factor on the Quality Payment Program (QPP) website. If you believe there is an error in your group practice or clinician’s 2021 MIPS payment adjustment calculation\, you can request a targeted review via the QPP site until Oct. 5\, 2020\, at 8:00 PM ET. Some examples of potential issues where MIPS participants may want to request a targeted review include:\n\nErrors or data quality issues for the measures or activities you submitted;\nEligibility and special status issues (e.g.\, the participant falls below the low-volume threshold and should not receive a payment adjustment); or\nBeing erroneously excluded from the APM participation list and not being scored under the APM scoring standard.

SUMMARY:Permanent Telehealth Expansion Medicare Proposed Rule
DESCRIPTION:Public comments on the proposed rules are due by October 5\, 2020. \nFor a fact sheet on the CY 2021 Physician Fee Schedule proposed rule\, please visit: https://www.cms.gov/newsroom/fact-sheets/proposed-policy-payment-and-quality-provisions-changes-medicare-physician-fee-schedule-calendar-year-4 \nTrump Administration Proposes to Expand Telehealth Benefits Permanently for Medicare Beneficiaries Beyond the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency and Advances Access to Care in Rural Areas \nPhysician Fee Schedule Proposed Rule would make permanent certain telehealth and workforce flexibilities provided during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency and improve healthcare for Americans in Rural Areas  \nThe Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is proposing changes to expand telehealth permanently\, consistent with the Executive Order on Improving Rural and Telehealth Access that President Trump signed today. The Executive Order and proposed rule advance our efforts to improve access and convenience of care for Medicare beneficiaries\, particularly those living in rural areas. Additionally\, the proposed rule implements a multi-year effort to reduce clinician burden under our Patients Over Paperwork initiative and to ensure appropriate reimbursement for time spent with patients. This proposed rule also takes steps to implement President Trump’s Executive Order on Protecting and Improving Medicare for our Nation’s Seniors and continues our commitment to ensure that the Medicare program is sustainable for future generations.

SUMMARY:BCBS of AL Cost Sharing Waiver Deadline
DESCRIPTION:A few months ago\, BCBS of AL began waiving member cost-sharing (copayment\, deductible\, co-insurance) for all identified telehealth services\, regardless of whether there was a diagnosis related to COVID-19. \nFor most Blue Cross members\, the cost-sharing waiver for telehealth services filed with a non-COVID-19-related diagnosis code will end July 31\, 2020. \nBecause benefits can vary depending on a member’s plan\, it’s important to always check eligibility and benefits through MediSYS PM or ProviderAccess to confirm coverage and cost-sharing details. \nVisit the BCBS of AL COVID-19 Provider Update Center for the latest information about testing\, treatment and telehealth coverage – https://providers.bcbsal.org/portal/coronavirus.
