“Nearly 40% of health-care
providers treating Medicare patients will have their payments docked 1.5% this
year because they didn’t submit data on patients’ health to the
government...Launched in 2007, the federal quality-reporting program is one of
several meant to measure and spur improvements in quality. Providers—including
doctors, nurse practitioners, physical therapists and others who bill Medicare,
the federal program for the elderly and disabled—initially earned bonuses for
complying. The Affordable Care Act introduced penalties for not participating,
starting this year.”
