MACRA

On April 27, CMS released its long-awaited proposed rule that will continue implementation of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA).  MACRA repealed the flawed sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula in Medicare Part B and sets out a new framework for physician payment.  Under the proposed rule, physicians will participate in either the merit-based incentive payment system (MIPS) or the advanced alternative payment model (APM) path.

CAPG's President and CEO, Don Crane and Mara McDermott, Vice President of Federal Affairs, will provide an outline of the proposed rule and discuss timeframes, qualification requirements, and qualifying advanced alternative payment models.
