The clock is ticking on the final rule and the January 1, 2017 start date for the Quality Payment Program, a key provision of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA).
Our team of experts is committed to keeping you up-to-date with all things MACRA. Over the past several months, we’ve held a series of educational webinars and posted resources to help you make sense of the proposed rules. Most recently, we’ve been updating you on the most recent announcement from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) regarding the upcoming final rule.
- Chris Emper, our Government Affairs Advisor, wrote this blog explaining the flexible reporting options in 2017 for MACRA’s Quality Payment Program, as announced by CMS on September 8.
- On September 15 our Health Reform Simplified webinar covered the Quality Payment Program flexibility options in more detail, along with the annual Quality and Resource Use Reports (QRUR), Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+), and answers to some of your most burning questions. Find the recording here and please be sure to register for October’s Health Reform Simplified webinar here.
- Just this week, we held a dedicated QRUR webinar to discuss the process for accessing your reports through CMS’ Enterprise Identity Management System (EIDM) and best practices for using QRUR data to prepare for MACRA. Find that recording here.
