MACRA University

This online resource contains information on the CMS Quality Payment Program (QPP).

The QPP was formed by CMS under the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA).

Our goal is to allow practices to achieve optimal performance through a detailed understanding of the nuances of the two QPP tracks:

• The Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and

  

• Advanced Alternative Payment Models (APMs).

An estimated 650,000+ clinicians are eligible for the MIPS in 2018 and more than 100,000 clinicians are expected to enroll in AAPMs.

Learn how to achieve optimal performance in the MIPS and Advanced APMs.
