We are pleased to announce that we have successfully completed the 2015 CMS Quality Measures Reporting.
Thanks to everyone’s hard work, including the CCACO participating providers and their office staff, our administrative team and our ACO IT platform, MDLand, CCACO has completely reported 100% of the required quality measures for 2015, prior to the March 11 deadline.
Congratulations to all! Congratulations to all! The reporting period was open for 8 weeks, from January 18, 2016 to March 11, 2016, during which CCACO reported data on over 3,000 Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries. As a result of our successful reporting, CCACO will be eligible for shared savings, and eligible CCACO providers will avoid the 2015 Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) penalties, and be eligible to receive quality incentive payments through the Value-Based Modifier initiative..
CCACO physicians and their staff, as well as CCACO's administrative staff, in conjunction with MDLand, worked tirelessly on this project during the reporting period, demonstrating the great teamwork and commitment of this organization. We look forward to continuing to work together to achieve future successes and to improving patient care within the Chinese community.
We would like to sincerely thank our membership for their cooperation and dedication in helping CCACO to successfully complete 100% of the CMS reporting requirement.
CCACO presented an overview of the CMS Quality Measures Reporting process, including its timeline (January 27, 2014 – March 27, 2014) and the data required from CCACO members. Attendees were introduced to the 15 data modules and were taught to use the application that would allow them to submit their data. CCACO informed the attendees that they would receive five dollars for each completed patient, and ten dollars for each patient completed on or before March 27, 2014.
In addition, CCACO presented data on the predicted shared savings and encouraged its members to purchase additional shares.

We have been working on notifying all 12,000 of our Medicare Fee-for-Service beneficiaries. We would like to thank those who have already begun to notify their Medicare Fee-for-Service patients, and urge those who have not yet started to begin as soon as possible. Please feel free to contact us by email (ccaco.dzhu@gmail.com) or phone (212-965-0222) if you have any questions or require assistance.
We would like to remind you to submit your Diabetes Recognition Program application by the end of 2012.
The Diabetes Recognition Program is an incentive program run by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), that recognizes physicians who have provided exceptional care to their patients with diabetes. Physicians may earn NCQA Recognition by supplying patient data from 25 eligible patients with diabetes in a 12-month period. The standard of care given to these patients is then evaluated according to a scoring system that uses 11 measures to assign points. If a physician earns 75 points or more, he/she will achieve NCQA Recognition and receive a payment of $2,000. Five percent of all physicians are randomly selected for audit and will be required to submit documentation of reported care.
Physicians do not have to be primary care physicians (PCPs) to participate in this program. Eligible patients must be between 18 and 75 years old, and have been under the care of the applicant for at least one year before their most recent visit date. They may belong to any insurance, or be cash patients.
If you would to participate in the Diabetes Recognition Program, please see the information packet here, and contact Dana Zhu at dzhu@ccaco.org or 212-965-0222.
