Is your practice still relying on the traditional MIPS reporting process?

CMS is proposing major changes to the way clinicians report under MIPS, with traditional MIPS planned to end after the 2028 performance year.

That means practices may need to review their reporting process, documentation, quality measures, and EHR workflows sooner rather than later.

It can affect how your team documents, codes and bills a service.

Could a Medicaid policy change eventually affect your practice's reimbursement?

CMS's 2026 Medicaid provider tax rule is changing how certain states structure Medicaid MCO taxes.

And for providers, that could have a much bigger impact than just a policy update.

Think reimbursement.
MCO contracts.
State-directed payments.
Revenue planning.

If your organization is in one of the affected states, it's worth understanding what's changing.

One confusing code can create a bigger billing headache later.

That's why understanding remittance advice matters.

Don't just look at the payment amount.

Look at why the payer paid that amount.

Look at the adjustments.

Look at the codes.

And most importantly, look for anything that doesn't make sense.

Your revenue cycle deserves more than a quick glance at the payment screen.
