The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) awarded a contract to help clinicians in small practices in Maryland and the District of Columbia prepare for and participate in the new Quality Payment Program, established by the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA).
This technical assistance, authorized and funded under MACRA, brought direct support to an estimated 5500 Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) eligible clinicians in small practices with 15 or fewer clinicians, including small practices in rural locations, health professional shortage areas, and medically underserved areas across the country. The direct technical assistance was available immediately and free to all MIPS eligible clinicians. Qlarant delivered support for 5 years.
