Which legislation established quality performance measures for healthcare providers?

  1. HIPAA

  2. Affordable Care Act (ACA)

  3. Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA)

  4. Social Security Act

The correct answer is: Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA)

The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) established quality performance measures for healthcare providers. This legislation aimed to reform the way Medicare rewards clinicians for value over volume. Under MACRA, the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and Advanced Alternative Payment Models (APMs) were created, both of which focus on enhancing the quality of care provided to patients. MIPS encourages physicians to report and improve their performance in various categories, including quality, promoting inter-professional collaboration and better patient outcomes. This act represents a significant shift in Medicare reimbursement policies, emphasizing value-based care and the importance of quality metrics in assessing provider performance. By establishing standardized measures, MACRA ensures that healthcare providers are accountable for the quality of care they deliver, ultimately aimed at improving patient health outcomes and the efficiency of healthcare services.
