Medicare Access and CHIP Re-Authorization Act (MACRA) is a mouthful and doesn’t necessarily jump off the page as a must-read, but in reality, it is about to change the way doctors can deliver (and bill for) better patient-centered care. For example, did you know that a physician and a specialist cannot both bill for a visit on the same patient on the same day, or that a doctor couldn’t bill Medicare for time spent making phone calls to patients? Gavin & Zac are joined by Dr. Ashby Wolff, Chief Medical Officer for the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Region-9, to talk about innovations like MACRA, Accountable Health Communities and Bundled Payment Programs that are shifting the way we deliver and receive healthcare.
