Physicians are strong-armed into complying with the federal mandates. Federal reimbursement is denied/reduced/delayed until health care providers comply. Every year, physicians are also threatened with federal payment reductions in excess of 20%.
Reporting requirements have been escalating for several years (e.g. Physician Quality Reporting System).
