The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) includes payment incentives to encourage providers to participate in alternative payment models (APMs) that focus on coordinating care, improving quality, and reducing costs. MACRA established the Physician-Focused Payment Model Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC) to provide recommendations to the Secretary of Health and Human Services on the criteria for physician-focused APMs, and to submit comments regarding whether specific proposals meet the criteria to be established by the Secretary. The first meeting of the PTAC is scheduled for February 1, 2016. The public may attend the meeting in-person or listen via audio teleconference; registration is required.
