Registration Period for MIPS Group Reporting Ends on June 30

Q. Should I report as a group or as an individual? A. If you work in group practice, you have the choice to report as an individual or as a group. However, if you decide to report as a group, ALL eligible clinicians must report under the group’s tax identification number (TIN) – no one is allowed to report individually. Similarly, if your group elects to report together, even if you would be exempt under the low-volume threshold on the individual level, you MUST participate with the group. Under the group reporting option, all eligible clinicians will report on the same measures in each of the four categories.

EDX Laboratory Accreditation

About EDX Laboratory Accreditation

The AANEM Electrodiagnostic (EDX) Laboratory Accreditation Program is a voluntary, peer-review process that acknowledges laboratories for achieving and maintaining the highest level of quality, performance, and integrity based on professional standards. It is a structured mechanism to assess, evaluate, and improve patient care.

The Value of Laboratory Accreditation

The AANEM promotes the accreditation program on an ongoing basis to build awareness and credibility for this important quality and patient care initiative as the recognized standard for EDX medicine. The AANEM EDX Laboratory Accreditation:

Demonstrates clinical excellence in EDX medicine
Proves a laboratory’s commitment to providing the highest quality health care and a safe environment for patients
Provides patients, referral sources, and payers with a credible measure to differentiate the laboratory’s quality of care

Why Should Payers Consider Laboratory Accreditation?

Private and public payers need a tool to identify quality EDX studies. AANEM’s program helps payers to be sure their payments are made to providers trained to perform EDX testing and who use the appropriate equipment, are onsite, and provide real-time diagnosis (See also: Electrodiagnostic Services: Pay for Quality). This ensures patient safety, best quality, lowest cost, and helps payers avoid paying for fraudulent services. To understand more about the AANEM’s program, view this brochure.
