ATI Has Earned That Rating Every Year Since
Current Measurement Program Debuted in 2019
BOLINGBROOK, Ill., Nov. 6, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- ATI Physical Therapy ("ATI" or the
"Company") today announced that it has again earned the
"Exceptional" rating by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid
Services' (CMS) Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) for
quality patient care in 2022. ATI received the exceptional rating
for the fourth consecutive year, every year since the program's
inception for physical therapy providers.
"Once again, this rating is recognition of the high-quality,
patient-centric care our providers deliver," said ATI Chief
Executive Officer Sharon Vitti. "We
talk a lot about the special relationships between our patients and
our providers, and this rating continues to illustrate how much our
patients value the care they receive and the difference that it
makes in their lives. We will continue working hard to expand
access to PT and help people live healthier lives."
As part of this process, ATI, the nation's largest
single-branded outpatient physical therapy provider,
leveraged its proprietary electronic medical record and
Patient Outcomes RegistryTM with over 3
million patients 18 years of age and older. These
foundational components are core to ATI's commitment to tie
healthcare payments to quality care improvement and health outcomes
while reducing the overall cost of healthcare.
"We couldn't be prouder to again receive this exceptional
performer rating," said Charles
Thigpen, ATI Vice President of Care Delivery. "Now for four
years running, this recognition is a credit to the outstanding care
our clinicians deliver every day. We will continue working hard to
promote the value of physical therapy and its vital role in the
musculoskeletal health ecosystem."
The MIPS recognition is used to determine if the provider is
eligible for a bonus to CMS reimbursement rates that providers
receive for their services, which in turn impacts the location and
scope of services available to patients. This recognition is
important to partially offset the impact of continuing rate
reduction, as also determined by CMS for physical therapy
services.
