Following up on the passage of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently issued a proposed rule to replace the Medicare sustainable growth rate (SGR) methodology which was repealed by MACRA. The proposed rule would implement the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) to replace SGR and establish incentives for participation in Advanced Alternative Payment Models (Advanced APMs).
