More than 40 House lawmakers have asked congressional leaders to support value-based payment incentives and extend the 5 percent bonus for Alternative Payment Model (APM) participation.
In a bipartisan letter sent to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, the House members emphasized how the APM incentive payments help providers shift from fee-for-service to value-based care models.
The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) introduced the incentive payment to encourage healthcare practices to transition into APMs, where providers are held accountable for the quality and cost of patient care.
