Are physicians ready for MACRA/QPP? Results from the KPMG-AMA Survey

Beginning in 2019, the QPP will adjust payment rates for physicians and other eligible health care professionals for participation in 2017 under one of two payment tracks: (1) a payment system with incentives or penalties for reporting and meeting certain quality measures, demonstrating use of a certified electronic health record and other measures through the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS); or, (2) a 5 percent lump sum bonus payment if the physician has a threshold portion of their revenue or patients in a qualifying Advanced Alternative Payment Model (Advanced APM).
