Value Based Care

Introduction
You are an office manager for a large private physician practice. With the recent changes to the fee for service model, to a value-based care model, it is important for the physicians to understand the role of Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) and Merit -based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). These two initiatives will greatly impact provider revenue potential and ultimately profit for the practice.
The managing partners (founding providers) of the practice have asked you to draft a memo to all the providers explaining the key differences between the change from fee-for-service and quality or value-based care model. You will need to discuss why value-based care will need to be the new focus for all providers. You should plan to discuss MACRA and MIPS. Traditionally, fee-for-service focuses on the individual patient versus quality or value-based care focuses on outcomes for community level changes.
