6 Key Takeaways from MACRA Final Rule
- Flexibilities provided in the first transition year may continue in 2018.
- During the first year of MIPS, providers will not be evaluated on cost or resource use.
- Despite flexibilities allowed under the final rule, it is in providers’ best interest to participate as much as possible during the transition year — and not just for the practice.
- Quality measure benchmarks will be published this year.
- Vendors need to prepare, too.
- Small group providers and solo physicians could get squeezed out.
