The CMS on Monday encouraged providers to share clinical data in the Quality Payment Program that could help combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
The agency will give providers credit in the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System if they participate in a clinical trial that uses a drug or biologic to treat COVID-19 and report the data to the CMS. The hope is the increased participation will help improve patient care and find best practices that could curb the virus’ spread.
