Do Not Let The CHIP Expiration Stop Your Software Implementation Plans
The recent expiration of the authorization to fund the Children's Health Insurance Program, a key component of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) of 2015, shocked a lot of people and threw into question the ability of states to continue administering the program over the next several months.
For organizations that were still in the process of or planning to implement MIPs and APMs software to meet MACRA requirements, this expiration sounds like a signal to put everything on hold because no one knows what will happen next.
