ATI Physical Therapy Ranked in
100th Percentile for Delivering Outstanding Patient
Care
BOLINGBROOK, Ill., Sept. 7,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ATI Physical
Therapy ("ATI" or the "Company") today announced that it
has again earned the highest level of distinction by the
Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) for quality patient
care in 2021. For the second consecutive year, ATI received the
highest possible score, ranking in the 100th percentile
of providers delivering outstanding patient outcomes, according to
the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services' (CMS) Quality
Payment Program (QPP). The Company was ranked an "exceptional
performer" for the third year in a row.
"This recognition is another welcomed testament to the
highest-quality, patient-centric care our providers deliver every
day," said ATI Chief Executive Officer Sharon Vitti. "When you think about the personal
nature of healthcare, there's no higher honor a provider can
receive than knowing you rank among the best in patient quality. We
couldn't be happier to again be able to say that, while also
working hard to ensure that our patients maintain access to
high-quality care."
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 2.5
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.
"With another exceptional performer rating and ranking in the
100th percentile of all providers, we are proud to again
be able to say that ATI delivers the highest-quality patient care,"
said Charles Thigpen, ATI Vice
President of Care Delivery. "This is a credit to our outstanding
clinicians across the country who continue to deliver on our care
model every day. We look forward to continuing to lead the way in
further recognition of value-based reimbursement models."
The MIPS recognition is used to determine the reimbursement
rates that providers receive for their services, which in turn
impacts the location and scope of services available to patients.
This honor comes at a time when ancillary services such as physical
therapy are facing unprecedented threats in rate reduction, as also
determined by CMS.
"ATI remains committed to delivering the highest-quality care to
as many patients as possible," Vitti said. "This honor demonstrates
that we are continuing to help improve people's lives while also
leading the way in the push for reimbursement models that place a
premium on the value of physical therapy."
