CMS MACRA Listening Session: Quality Payment Program Proposed Rule

Tuesday, May 10 from 2 to 3:30 pm ET

To Register: Visit MLN Connects Event Registration. Space may be limited, register early.

The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) changes the way Medicare rewards clinicians for providing quality care by streamlining multiple quality programs into a new Quality Payment Program tied to Part B Fee-For-Service payments. With the implementation of MACRA and the replacement of the Sustainable Growth Rate, we will pay clinicians participating in the Merit-based Incentive Payment System or Advanced Alternative Payment Models of the Quality Payment Program beginning in 2019.

This listening session is an opportunity for stakeholders to learn about the proposed policy for the Quality Payment Program. We encourage participants to review the proposed rule (CMS-5517-P) prior to the listening session.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services CMS will not consider feedback during the call as formal comments on the rule.
