Navigating New Waters: How Did <scp>MACRA</scp> 2015 Transform Practices Among Medicare Part B Physicians?

MACRA participation is associated with increased billing and payment among Medicare Part B physicians, primarily driven by physicians treating a greater number of Medicare beneficiaries. However, modest changes in per-beneficiary spending suggest limited changes in care intensity. Further research is needed to explore factors influencing patient volumes and payer mix under MACRA.

Abstract

MACRA participation is associated with increased billing and payment among Medicare Part B physicians, primarily driven by physicians treating a greater number of Medicare beneficiaries. However, modest changes in per-beneficiary spending suggest limited changes in care intensity. Further research is needed to explore factors influencing patient volumes and payer mix under MACRA.
