In Law360, Health Care and Corporate Attorneys Examine Future MACRA Considerations for Hospitals and Health Systems
Health care partner Deborah Kantar Gardner and counsel Peter Holman (both of Boston) and corporate practice associate Cara Dermody (Boston) authored a Nov. 22 article in Law360 examining future MACRA considerations for hospitals and health systems acquiring or affiliating with a physician practice.
The authors explain that under the Medicare and Chip Access and Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA), a portion of physician payments are tied to value-based health care goals, such as reduced costs and improved quality, aligning them more closely with the objectives of hospitals and health systems.
