ACOs just gained a reprieve from implementing all-patient APP quality reporting in 2024. A provision in CMS’s Physician Fee Schedule Final Rule, which goes into effect on January 1, 2024, enables ACOs to report on Medicare patients only, based on CMS provision of eligible patient lists for three APP measures. If your ACO decides to delay aggregation of practice data for now, you need to consider how to optimize APP Reporting of Medicare CQMs.
Choose a qualified registry for APP Reporting that can reduce your workload for reporting Medicare CQM Measures.
Using CMS’s list of patients eligible for measures will mean that your ACO will not need to aggregate data to determine who is eligible (“denominator” data). But make no mistake. Gathering measure responses (“numerator” data) from across your provider network will still require work from ACO staff.
