Apparently, from research conducted and with my attendance at CHUG in Phoenix, MACRA and MIPS will envelop PQRS, MU, et al, into one master program for 2017. I have not yet researched all the details, but we do need to get a handle on the associated when, what, and how's. Does anyone know where I can obtain additional information regarding this transition to alleviate some of my fears and concerns? Has GE posted any documentation or guides on the subject? Sorry for showing some ignorance here, but just trying to stay ahead of the curve heading into 2017. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

CMS has been putting out weekly webinars detailing the different sections of MIPS which have helped filled in some of the gaps in information. The next one is scheduled for tomorrow at 12pm Eastern time. I've attached the link below.

MGMA also has some good guidance on how to prepare your practice for MACRA and the value-based payment modifier (VBPM) , but you have to be an MGMA member to access the content (or you can sign up for a free trial). Here is the link:

Here is the main page at MGMA that provides a good overview of MACRA and how medical practices should prepare (click link below to access the page)

I've attached the preparation checklist and a fact sheet for small practices to this post.
