CAFP Joins Colorado Quality Payment Program Coalition

ByLynlee Espeseth

In 2017 Medicare will roll out the largest change to Medicare Part B payment since 1997 through the implementation of the Quality Payment Program (QPP) in an effort to drive clinician engagement and enhance the quality, cost effectiveness and health of the population. The Colorado QPP Coalition has been formed to help clinicians* and their practice teams successfully transition to the new program.

  • Increase QPP awareness among Colorado health care providers using common messaging
