The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) incentivizes quality and coordinated care among clinicians who treat Medicare Part B patients. MACRA legislation introduced the Quality Payment Program (QPP), a new Medicare value-based reimbursement system that will impact Medicare reimbursement amounts beginning in 2019.
