Support Podiatric Medicine with
Every Amazon.com Purchase

New Member Benefit: MyMipsScore
App to Help Maximize MIPS Scores

The APMA Educational
Foundation is now participating in AmazonSmile, a program in which Amazon.com
donates 0.5 percent of the price of eligible smile.amazon.
com purchases to the foundation.
Visit https://smile.amazon.com/ch/52-1268752, and
you will be prompted to choose the "American Podiatric
Medical Assoc Educational Foundation Inc" as the charity you would like to support through your Amazon.com
purchases. APMA encourages you to participate! The
foundation provides and promotes quality foot health
education, supports research related to foot health, and
provides scholarships to students in podiatric medical
colleges. Visit www.apma.org/educationalfoundation to
learn more about everything the foundation does to advance the growth and stability of podiatric medicine.

APMA told you earlier this year about the MyMips
Score™ app to help members excel under value-based
reimbursement models. We are now pleased to announce
that APMA will make MyMipsScore™ available free of
charge as a customized app exclusively for APMA members. The app offers solutions to help you understand,
calculate, analyze, and maximize your MIPS scores. APMA
members who have signed up to use the APMA Registry
will be able to submit data to CMS through the registry
regardless of their EHR provider by using the MyMips
Score app. Sign up today for the APMA Registry at www.
apma.org/registry, and be ready to report for 2018.
Questions about MIPS? See APMA's "2018 MIPS Performance Year Resources" webpage at www.apma.org/
2018 for all your MIPS needs. More information about the
MyMipsScore app will be available soon.
