Questions can be submitted in advance of the webinar by emailing Partnership@cms.hhs.gov. CMS has contracted with Acumen, LLC to develop episode-based cost measures for their potential use in the cost performance category of the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). As part of measure development, Acumen convenes Clinician Expert Workgroups ("workgroups") to provide input on all components of cost measure specifications. Acumen is hosting 2 part-day virtual webinars that are open to the public with a listen-only option. Stakeholders and members of the public are invited to listen in on the considerations that inform cost measure development. Please share this message with anyone you believe may be interested. The dates and times for the upcoming webinars are listed below. To register, please click on the webinar(s) you're interested in attending: The CKD/ESRD measures are a re-specification for MIPS of the cost measures that were developed for the Kidney Care First Option of the Kidney Care Choices (KCC) Alternative Payment Model in 2020. More information on the KCC model is available here, and a report summarizing expert input from the Technical Expert Panel that Acumen convened is available here. The Psychoses/Related Conditions measure was one of 11 episode-based cost measures developed between April and December 2018. During the 2018-2019 pre-rulemaking process, the Measure Applications Partnership (MAP) conditionally supported 10 measures, but re-voted on the Psychoses/Related Conditions measure with 'do not support' for rulemaking. Since then, Acumen has continued to gather feedback about refining the measure through multiple channels. Information about the measure development process and development activities (including this process summary document) undertaken in previous years is on the MACRA Feedback Page. If you have any questions about measure development, workgroups, or the workgroup meetings, please contact Acumen at macra-clinical-committee-support@acumenllc.com. If you would like to receive measure development updates, please join our mailing list. If you have questions about MIPS, the cost performance category, or cost measures currently in use in MIPS, please contact the Quality Payment Program at 1-866-288-8292 or by e-mail at QPP@cms.hhs.gov (Monday-Friday 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. ET).
