Dr Kate Goodrich Discusses CMS Expectations for MACRA and APM Participation

CMS understands that not all physicians will report quality measures under the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) or join advanced alternative payment models (APMs), especially immediately, said Kate Goodrich, MD, director of the Quality Measurement and Value-Based Incentives Group in CMS. However, there are efforts in place to make it as easy as possible for these providers, which will hopefully increase participation over time.
