Medicare requires your physician customers to make decisions that
will fundamentally change how they are measured and reimbursed. The
Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) forces most
practices to choose between the new Merit-Based Incentive Payment System
(MIPS) and Alternative Payment Models (APM). This choice will determine
how physicians will be reimbursed in 2019 and beyond. In this 30-minute
webinar, you will get details on the final MACRA rule and gain the
understanding you need to thoughtfully discuss this change with your
customers. You'll learn about:
- Key differences between the two payment models
- Quality metrics that will matter most to your customers and their bottom line
- Greater price transparency across providers
- Implementation timelines
- Medicare’s future plans for the program
