You are a consultant and an Acute Care hospital approaches you with questions about the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). The hospital wants to know if it will be subject to MIPS. The hospital bills exclusively for Medicare Part A services, and none of the clinicians at the hospital reassign billing rights to the hospital. To clarify, the hospital is not interested in hearing anything about the applicability or requirements of the Advance/Alternative Payment Model (APM) of MACRA, it only wants to know if MIPS applies to it or not. Does MIPS apply to the hospital? Why?
