ONC? MACRA? Definitions please. Even the referenced article doesn’t explain.
newly created another post ?
Poorly written article. What is ONC or any of the other govt acronyms that no one knows
The electronic records mandates are driving most physicians crazy. The idea has been to drive solo and small practice physicians to opt out of Medicare and insurance, or out of business completely so that they join the big hospital corporations. This has been done through regulations such as EMRs and complex coding rules that are intended to recapture money via penalties.
The prevailing notion is totalitarian control over medicine. This has been going on a long time at a slower pace under Klintoon and bushie #2. It got a big boost under the previous communist administration with the dreaded 0-care legislation.
I doubt the trajectory will substantially change and most private physicians will opt out and/or refuse to take Medicare, Medicaid.
If Price makes a difference here, I will be shocked. The bureaucracy is too entrenched.
