Frequently Asked Questions

APCM service elements, such as 24/7 access and care planning, directly satisfy several MIPS Improvement Activities and Quality Measures simultaneously.

Yes, by automating patient access to health data and streamlining secure communication, AI helps meet PI measure requirements for patient engagement.

MVPs align related measures and activities tailored to chronic care, making reporting more relevant and reducing the administrative burden of measure selection.

By consistently documenting APCM services through automated tools, you ensure a high volume of quality data that supports positive adjustments and avoids the 9% penalty.

Yes, as long as the AI-generated transcripts are reviewed by clinical staff and integrated into the certified EHR technology (CEHRT) record.
