The Achievement Continues the Company's Streak
in Earning the Rating Annually Since the Program Debuted in
2019
BOLINGBROOK, Ill., Nov. 13,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ATI Physical
Therapy ("ATI" or the "Company") today has again earned
the "Exceptional" rating from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid
Services' (CMS) Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) for
quality patient care. ATI received the exceptional rating for the
fifth consecutive year, every year since the program's inception
for physical therapy providers.
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 comprised of more than 10 million
patient reported outcomes across 4 million patient episodes
and 3 million unique patients. These foundational components
are core to ATI's commitment to improve quality care improvement
and health outcomes while reducing the overall cost of
healthcare.
"This annual recognition is a testament to our exceptional team
of clinicians and the work they do daily. Physical therapy plays a
critical role in the musculoskeletal health ecosystem (MSK), and we
will continue to promote the value it has in helping our patients
live pain-free lives," said Charles Thigpen, Senior Vice
President for Clinical Excellence, ATI Physical Therapy. "Levering
our outcomes, experience, and single-branded platform, we strive to
deliver differentiated care that reduces the cost of MSK as well as
unnecessary opioids, imaging or surgery."
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.
With a focus on delivering high-quality care, ATI Physical
Therapy strives to improve patients' quality of life through
comprehensive treatment plans and personalized care. ATI Physical
Therapy offers convenient hours and easy booking through ATI's
website for a variety of services, including physical therapy,
sports medicine PT, women's health PT, hand therapy, worker's comp
