Ask Dr. Mingle: Preventative measures and cost calculations, scoring for measures without benchmarks, and how switching EHRs affects MIPS submissions
We’re back with another episode of “Ask Dr. Mingle,” the podcast where Dr. Dan Mingle takes your questions about quality programs and the transition to value-based care.
You can listen to the latest episode right here:
In episode two of “Ask Dr. Mingle,” we address three great questions from Marilyn, Polly, and Ann.
- At 00:55, Marilyn asks: “Could you explain how individual measures impact Cost calculations? The colonoscopy measure, for example, is preventative. Does that change cost calculations at all?”
- At 04:38, Polly asks: “If a measure doesn’t have a benchmark, how is it scored?”
- At 07:35, Ann asks: “Our practice is switching to a different EHR system this year. How will that affect our MIPS submission?”
