At the May 21 Health Reform Simplified webinar, members of the NextGen Healthcare Government and Industry Affairs team focused on the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) and its potential effects on healthcare organizations.
We discussed how MACRA:
- Avoids the scheduled 21% Medicare reimbursement cut
- Extends CHC and CHIP funding for two more years
- Expands on interoperability requirements for use of EHR
- Replaces the sustainable growth rate (SGR) with two new value-based payment systems that move healthcare further away from fee-for-service
