CMS Seeks to Ease MACRA Rollout by Reducing Physicians' Administrative Burdens

on Fri, 2016-10-14 13:28   paige

The CMS on Thursday announced a long-term initiative to improve physicians' experience with the Medicare program by reducing administrative burdens.

The initiative seeks to increase physician engagement and improve physician experience with Medicare by reviewing regulations and policies to minimize administrative tasks as the CMS gets set to drop its final rule on the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, or MACRA.
