The passage by Congress of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 ("MACRA") caused the repeal of  the Medicare sustainable growth rate ("SGR") methodology and signaled a sea change in the way Medicare rewards clinicians for providing quality care. This was followed in 2016 by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) release of a much anticipated 962 page proposed rule that outlines specific details on how CMS intends to implement MACRA value-based payment reform under a new framework called the Quality Payment Program. The Proposed Rule includes program-specific details on how CMS intends to establish the Merit-based Incentive Payment System ("MIPS"). In this webinar, expert Joseph Wolfe guides listeners with a straight-forward, practical explanation of key MACRA provisions and the Quality Payment Program that impact your valuation, including the timing and features of new MIPS and APM incentive implementation.
