During this week, you will learn about key components of the ARRA/HITECH/MACRA laws and mandates and will discuss how these requirements impact healthcare organizations today. Please review the above listed sources as they provide a solid basis for this paper. In addition, there is an abundance of information available for you to read on the ARRA/HITECH/MACRA.
Please feel free to search additional resources as well.
In this paper, address the following items:
- What is the purpose of HITECH and what are the core programs associated with HITECH?
- The vast majority of Medicare providers are required to participate in one of two MACRA tracks, the Merit-based Incentive Payment system (MIPS) or an Advanced Alternative Payment Model (AAPM). Explain and compare the details of both tracks and discuss advantages and disadvantages of both.
- Explain which professionals are eligible to participate in MIPS and AAPM payment systems? Providers can participate as individuals or groups with the same Tax-ID Number (TIN), differentiate individual versus group participation?
- What barriers do you foresee regarding healthcare reimbursement as healthcare continues to shift further towards paying for quality healthcare and not quantity of healthcare?
