Phreesia Patient Activation Measure in CMS Merit-Based Incentive Payment System

 Phreesia is very pleased to announce that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has included the Patient Activation Measure Performance Measure (PAM-PM) in its Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), as well as in 15 specialty-specific measure sets and five MIPS Value Pathways (MVPs), subsets of measures for specific conditions.

The Patient Activation Measure (PAM) measures a patient’s knowledge, skills and confidence to self-manage their health. Insignia Health, a wholly owned subsidiary of Phreesia, is the measure steward of the PAM. Activated patients feel comfortable advocating for themselves and asking for support from their care team to manage their own health. But many patients who feel discouraged and overwhelmed need more targeted support and resources.
