Five Steps to Building a "MACRA Ready" Physician Compensation Plan
by Justin Chamblee, CPA | Senior Vice President and Jon Morris, JD | Manger at Coker Group
The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) is changing how the government reimburses for physician services. Under the Merit Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), many physician groups, both in private practice or hospital-owned, across the country are facing adjustments in their professional fee revenue based on their performance in certain key
performance areas. This change calls for a reconsideration of provider compensation strategies to ensure that incentives are aligned. Even if your organization is exempt from MIPS by participating in an Advanced Alternative Payment Model (APM), it is important to act now to ensure your physician compensation plan is ready for the post-MACRA world. Follow these five steps to ensure you are on your way to a MACRA-ready physician compensation plan.

The Increasing Demands on Internal Recruitment Departments
by Stefan Werdegar | Vice President
at
Coker Group
Internal healthcare executive talent acquisition is changing dramatically for many provider organizations. Health systems are consolidating, and as a result of tighter budgets, some entities opt to conduct executive recruitment. This decision means organizations must expand training for their recruitment teams to help them understand new ways to find top executive talent in the market. They also need to find recruiters with experience in executive recruitment and who understand the complexity involved with this level of search.
