Alternative Payment Models: MACRA, Part III

Dan Golder, DDS, MBA, Principal Advisor, Henry Stokman, Principal, Jason Fortin, Senior Advisor, and Larry Katzovitz, Senior Advisor, Impact Advisors.  This session will look at the “other half” of the MACRA legislation: incentives for participating in Alternative Payment Models (APMs).  Topics will include an in-depth review and analysis of the different APM options defined under MACRA, and how each can potentially affect MIPS calculations.  Providing a “deep dive” into APMs and their associated complexities and implications for MIPS, this session will cover a review and comparison of APMs, advanced APMs and MIPS APMs; criteria for each category; determining “qualifying” participation; and the impact of APM participation in MIPS scoring.  This session presumes that attendees are familiar with MIPS/MACRA basics. Attendees are encouraged to review the slides from Part I, presented December 8, 2016, and Part II, presented April 13, 2017.
