Dive Brief:

  • Clinicians who were affiliated with a health system had “significantly better” performance scores under the Merit-based Incentive Payment System than those who were unaffiliated, according to a JAMA study published Tuesday.

  • The differences were especially stark for technology-dependent measures like giving patients access to health records and electronic prescribing, which could be due to the technology and infrastructure a system can provide, the authors said.
  • A separate study, also published Tuesday in JAMA, found that physicians who had the highest proportion of patients dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid had significantly lowers MIPS scores than other doctors.
