Dermatology Consultants participated in the 2021 CMS Quality Payment Program (QPP), the nation’s foremost quality of care measurement program and was rated in the top tier of U.S. healthcare providers. The Quality Payment Program is a part of Medicare’s Merit-based Incentive Payment System(MIPS). The MIPS program ensures healthcare payments are tied to high-quality, cost-efficient care.

The Quality Payment Program rewards healthcare providers for quality care and value while simultaneously empowering patients to actively participate in their healthcare., Organizations like Dermatology Consultants that achieve an exceptional performance rating are rewarded with payment incentives without additional cost to patients.

Medicare’s Merit-based Incentive Payment System is rigorously scored on a 100-point scale, with 85 points or higher considered exceptional performance. Dermatology Consultants achieved exceptional performance (< 85 points) and is ranked one of the country’s top-tier providers of dermatology care.
