How CMS Proposes to Annually Update Medicare Physician Reimbursement Under MACRA: A Conversation with Mara McDermott (June 14th)

Listen Now In an extremely busy year for Medicare delivery and payment reform, regulatory implementation of the 2015 Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) stands out. This past April CMS published the agency's 960-page proposed rule to implement the law. The proposed rule, that will go final this fall, will change the way Medicare physician payments (Medicare Part B) are annually updated beginning in payment year 2019. Payment updates, either at the individual provider or at the group level, will be calculated either by the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), a composite score based on four, differently weighted, component scores, or via provider participation in what CMS defines as an "advanced" Alternative Payment Model (APM) pathway, e.g., Track 2 and 3 ACOS and Patient Centered Medical Homes that meet certain financial risk criteria.
