Medicare Requests Advice on Implementing New Payment Models and Defining the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System

On September 28, Medicare published a request for information to guide the implementation of the Medicare and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015.  Using these comments and the requirements of the law, Medicare will craft changes to the pay-for-reporting, pay-for-performance, and electronic health record incentive programs as well as define alternative payment models.  ASH is currently reviewing the questions and will submit answers before the November 2 deadline.
