MACRA Resource Center

MACRA is the law that eliminated the terrible Medicare Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) payment formula that threatened large physician payment cuts for the last decade. But most physicians are not aware that MACRA makes sweeping changes to the way Medicare will reimburse physicians in the future. And the private sector is sure to follow.
