Alignment Deal-Making: Keys to a Successful Transaction

MACRA and MIPS in Physician Practice Valuations
by Yong Zhang, ASA, CPA | Senior Manager and Michael Ueng, ASA, CPA/ABV | Manager at Coker Group
On April 27, 2016, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released proposed rules related to legislative changes to Medicare Part B reimbursement, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA). MACRA repealed the sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula and replaced it with a new value-based reimbursement system, which consolidates several existing reporting and payment incentive programs.
MACRA establishes two paths for Medicare reimbursement for providers: the Merit Incentive Payment System (MIPS), which is a modified fee-for-service model, and Alternative Payment Models (APMs), which are payment models that reduce costs of care and/or support other value-based models. Most physicians are expected to enter the MIPS pathway in the beginning.
