The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) is an evolution of existing programs that physicians have been participating in over the last few years. It’s important for physicians to gain an understanding of the changes and apply them to their practices during 2017—the grace period before the full transition in 2018.

He also helps to clarify common points of confusion related to MACRA.
