This post is part of the MACRA Monday series of blog posts where we dive into the details of the MACRA Quality Payment Program.
While at the HIMSS 2017 conference, I had a chance to do a video interview with MACRA expert, Alexandria (Alex) J. Goulding, Public Policy Manager at iHealth. We cover a broad range of MACRA topics focused on the practical things that doctors should know about MACRA and MIPS.
You can find the full MACRA video interview at the bottom or click any of the links below to skip to a specific answer:
- What is keeping providers from embracing MACRA?
- What are the motivators for MDs to adopt MACRA?
- What should providers be prepared for under MACRA?
- What 2017 MACRA flexibilities should providers know about?
- Will MACRA go away under the threat of ACA reform?
Do you have other perspectives and insights that you’d add to what Alex Goulding offered above? Please share them in the comments.

Great points by your expert guest, seems to have the pulse of the program and the strategy. Noting what could have been in yet another SGR rodeo = context. Adamant that the MACRA law is safe can lend to further strategic thinking by such an expert. Thanks for posting.
MIPS part of MACRA is dead. Happening already. Either by political change or dead by 1000 cuts, MIPS is dead. Forget the “bipartisan” tag line. Nice try. Killing SGR was bipartisan, the rest was piled on by CMS/ONC and idiots that have NO idea what damage they are doing to front line providers with buzzword, value based self-reporting, meaningless, burdensome regulations. Its dead.
