President, American Medical Association
“The AMA supports CMS as it expands the models that can qualify as advanced APMs, allowing more practices to have the opportunity to succeed under MACRA without participating in MIPS. The AMA is working with the agency to expand opportunities for different specialties and practices to participate in innovative care models, and today’s announcement advances this shared goal. We hope that CMS will continue to expand the list of advanced APMs in the future so new delivery and payment arrangements can be supported and promoted — a win for physicians and patients alike.”
