Preparing For New Reforms

.

As a healthcare professional, it is essential for you to begin your preparation on MACRA Reforms Now!

CMS released a 962 page proposed rule for this new approach in late April with fínal rules expected in November. Services provided during Calendar Year 2017 will form the basis for payments in 2019 and the actions you take starting in January will result in reduction of up to 4% in your Medícare revenue or increase of up to 22%.

The new CMS rule outlines specific details on how it intends to implement MACRA reform under Quality Payment Program framework. Providers will choose one of two pathways:
  • MIPS (Merit-based Incentive Payment System), which will offer payment of higher or lower fee for each service provided based upon their composite presence score.  MIPS is the program which will consolídate the prime components of 3 existing programs, namely:
    • Physícian-Value Based Payment Modífier
    • Physícian Quality Reporting System
    • Medícare EHR Incentive Program
  • APM (Alternative Payment Model), which will offer participation in risk-based programs like Medícare's Shared Savings Program, besides a 5% bonus payment.
