Newly Introduced MACRA Initiative targets to Support Providers

The MACRA and Risk Initiative targets to assist the AMGA members prepare for MACRA, adapt to risk-based payment systems and move away from volume-based care.

On the day of May 25, American Medical Group Association (AMGA) launched a resource to assist its members prepare for MACRA implementation as well as all risk-based payment systems.

“We’re making it our priority to ensure our members have the tools essential to meet the challenge of new and rapidly approaching payment models,” stated President and CEO Donald Fisher in a public statement.

The MACRA and Risk Initiative leverages AMGA’s expertise in offering advocacy and resources to help its members move away from volume-based care and toward value-based care.

“Most contributors have little experience operating in a risk environment. For that matter, few payers have extensive experience sharing risk with providers,” AMGA stated previously in public remarks on MACRA. As a result, providers require tools to help them adapt to the value-based care environment.
