MACRA Listening Session: Quality Payment Program Proposed Rule — Register Now

Written by Reed Tinsley, CPA | May 5, 2016

This is very important and the more information you can absorb about Medicare's movement to pay for quality, the better off your medical practice will be. The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) changes the way Medicare rewards clinicians for providing quality care by streamlining multiple quality programs into a new Quality Payment Program tied to Part B Fee-For-Service payments. With the implementation of MACRA and the replacement of the Sustainable Growth Rate, Medicare will pay clinicians participating in the Merit-based Incentive Payment System or Advanced Alternative Payment Models of the Quality Payment Program beginning in 2019.

This listening session is an opportunity for stakeholders to learn about the proposed policy for the Quality Payment Program. We encourage participants to review the proposed rule (CMS-5517-P) prior to the listening session (Some light reading....Not).
