Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act in Small to Medium-Sized Primary Care Practices

Conclusions: This study highlights a dilemma in which independent practices are proactively attempting to prepare for MACRA’s requirements, yet they continue to have major challenges. Practices are under extreme pressure to comply with reimbursement regulations, which may force some practices joining a health system or merging with another practice or completely closing the practices. Policy makers should assess the unintended consequences of payment reform policies on independent practices and provide support in transitioning to a new payment system.
