Urology sits at a unique intersection in MACRA MIPS: a large share of urology patients arrive by referral from primary care, and a meaningful share get referred back out for oncology treatment or co-managed care. That referral flow shapes which measures matter most for urology practices, particularly around care coordination,…
Gastroenterology’s MIPS centers on one procedure more than any other specialty on this list: colonoscopy. Colorectal cancer screening and adenoma detection rate drive a large share of gastroenterology quality reporting, and because many of these procedures happen in an ambulatory surgery center rather than the practice itself, coordination between the…
Choosing an EHR for an ophthalmology practice is not the same as choosing one for primary care. Ophthalmology has its own workflows, imaging needs, coding requirements, and documentation standards that a generic EHR was never built to handle. The wrong EHR and practice management system can slow down exams, create…
Choosing an EHR and practice management system for an ophthalmology practice comes with questions that go beyond general medical software. Ophthalmic practices need specialty documentation tools, surgical and ASC support, optical and contact lens inventory management, and integration with diagnostic devices, all in one system. This FAQ answers common questions…
Podiatry is largely a specialty of independent and small-group practices, where MACRA MIPS reporting has to fit around patient care, rather than sit on a separate administrative track. Eligibility and participation rules for podiatry have also shifted over the years, so it’s worth confirming whether your practice is required to…
ModMed is a well-known name in specialties like ophthalmology, dermatology, and orthopedics. But name recognition isn’t the same as fit. Choosing an EHR isn’t really about whether a platform supports your specialty. It’s about how well that platform supports the entire practice, from clinical documentation through scheduling, billing, patient engagement, and reporting. A system that handles specialty documentation well…
Ophthalmology practices see more patients per day than almost any other specialty. That volume is a strength for revenue and patient access, but it creates a specific problem under MACRA MIPS: how do you document enough to satisfy quality measures without slowing down an exam schedule built around speed. The…
MIPS reporting has become increasingly data-driven. Practices can technically report manually or through third-party services, but most rely on their EHR to streamline quality reporting, reduce administrative burden, and protect reimbursement.
Nearly every orthopedic visit involves imaging in some form. X-rays, MRI, CT scans, ultrasound, fluoroscopy, and in some practices bone density imaging are part of routine care, not the exception. That means providers are constantly moving between documentation and diagnostic images throughout the day, and how efficiently that happens has a…
Medicare has been shifting from paying for volume toward paying for value for quite some time, and MIPS is the program that puts that shift into practice. If you bill Medicare Part B and you’re not already tracking your MIPS score, it’s affecting your reimbursement whether you’re paying attention to it or not. This guide covers what MIPS is, who has to participate, how…
