This episode explores the ongoing challenges and potential solutions surrounding Medicare physician payment reform and the sustainability of orthopedic practices. Dr. Robert Orfaly, editor in chief of AAOS Now, is joined by Dr. Adam Bruggeman, Chair of the AAOS Advocacy Council, to discuss the history of payment models from the sustainable growth rate (SGR) to MACRA, the impact of budget neutrality, and the consequences of stagnant reimbursement rates. Dr. Bruggeman shares insights into how these financial pressures are threatening the viability of independent and group practices, driving consolidation, and affecting patient access to care.

The Doctor's stuck in a surreal 1950s fever dream, UNIT's been rebranded as a life insurance agency, and wish-granting gods are running amok. What is even happening in Wish World?! Pete and Chris dive headfirst into RTD's mind-bending, logic-challenged spectacle that dares to connect the Rani, Poppy, Conrad, and possibly Susan through some extremely wishful thinking. Is this the Doctor's most confusing domestic life yet? Are Mastodon skeletons the new Macra? Is this what happens when RTD binges The Prisoner, WandaVision, and a box of Target novels? This one's more ride than story — but oh, what a ride it is.Subscribe to our YouTube Channel and become a True Companion of the podcast to get new episodes before everyone else!Subscribe to our newsletter at pulltoopen.net for extended notes on our randomized episodes.Support the podcast by becoming a patron of Pull To Open on Patreon.Please review Pull To Open on Apple Podcasts.Follow us on:TikTok: @pulltoopenInstagram: @pulltoopen63Facebook: @pulltoopen63X: @pulltoopen63Threads: @pulltoopen63Bluesky: @pulltoopenPlay Pull To Open Bingo (NEW upgraded card!)Pull To Open: Wish World HOT TAKESeason 6Episode 16Hosts: Pete Pachal and Chris TaylorMusic: Martin West/Thinking Fish©️AnyWho Media LLC 2025Doctor Who ©️BBC 1963

The MIPS program was designed to adjust Medicare payments based on clinical performance. MIPS only applies to eligible professionals whose practice caters to Medicare Part B beneficiaries. MIPS evaluates the clinical performance of eligible professionals using a composite performance score, comparing performance on a measure to measure benchmark. The results indicate whether the eligible professional will receive a decrease, an increase, or the same Medicare reimbursement for Part B claims. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/joneshealthlaw/support
Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 8ú lá de mí na Samhna, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1968 dúirt Edward McAteer níor dhiúltaigh sé go mbeidh an tír ar fad rialaithe ó Bhéal Feirste ar deireadh. I 1981 fuair teachta dála Frank Sherwin bás ag aois 76. Bhí cuimhne air mar chosantóir de na daoine bochta agus throid sé ar son na cearta do na daoine a bhí faoi mhíbhuntáiste. I 1968 rinneadh banríon de Ann Minihan ó Chill Rois ag Macra na Feirme i dTulach Mhór. Bhí sí an chéad bhean chun an teideal a bhuachaint agus bhí súil uirthi go mbeidh níos mó mná ag glacadh páirt. I 2005 bhí an chontae ag caoineadh báis de thriúir fear i Dúlainn. Bhí na triúir acu i jíp agus thit sé isteach san fharraige ag Doonagore Bay. Sin Westlife le You Raise Me Up – an t-amhrán is cáiliúla an lá seo i 2005. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht ceoil ón lá seo – I 1975 bhí David Bowie ar an teilifís don chéad uair i Meiriceá. Chan sé an t-amhrán 'Fame' ar an chlár teilifís 'Cher' a raibh sí mar óstach den seó ilsiamsa. I 2005 gabhadh ceithre fhear tar éis a rinne na póilíní ruathar ar teach i Londain de chuid Amy Winehouse. Gabhadh iad de bharr cás a bhí Blake Fielder-Civil – fear céile Amy Winehouse. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla inniu ná Gordon Ramsay a rugadh in Albain i 1966 – is chef mór le rá é. Agus rugadh SZA – amhránaí R&B i Meirceá ar an lá seo i 1989 agus seo chuid de a amhráin. Beidh mé ar ais libh an tseachtain seo chugainn le eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo.

This episode, Time Ram takes Matt Smith's 'Hide' and does a Troughton on it - which may or not be a euphemism. And so the sixties crew visit haunted Caliban House which is not a happy mansion and where postmen need to really check the signs. Meanwhile, Dandy Nichols shows some unexpected talents and Innes Lloyd deals with his Donald Pleasence problem. But we really can't get Macra into this. Or can we?

A key event in the calendar for many people living in rural Ireland, is the Mr Personality Festival organised by Kilkenny Macra. This week, we have a special Young Stock Podcast as Sarah McIntosh and Martin Merrick take us behind the scenes as they judge this year's competition. Taking place in Clonmel, from the 5 to 7 April, a weekend full of events saw 25 contestants from Macra clubs across the country battle it out in order to be named Mr Personality 2024. From making the judges ham and cheese sandwiches, to milking a cow on stage, this year's contestants didn't make it an easy task to pick a winner with a high calibre of talent's displayed during the on-stage interviews.Last year's winner Andrew Dunne speaks to us about what he has been up to since winning the title in 2023, and the impact it has had on his life.We also managed to catch up with a few of the contestants during the weekend to find out why they wanted to enter the competition and how they found the experience. The event wouldn't be possible without the hard work of the organising committee, we spoke to Christine O'Neill chairperson on the work that goes on behind the scenes.Taking home the Mr Personality 2024 title was Mark Riordan from Kenmare, Co Kerry. Speaking to us the day after he won, Mark emphasises the importance of staying together during the tough challenges young farmers are currently facing. “We talk about silage; we talk about breeding and we talk about all the challenges with farming but there is a lot happening on farm and there is a lot happening in farmers heads that we don't talk about enough. Its not easy out there at the moment and if you look at the weather for the next week especially, it's probably disheartening but I think as a community, as Macra we have to be there for each other, were all in the same boat and this will pass,” says Mark. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Mark Riordan has had a hell of a few days. He's been named the 17th Mr Personality by Macra and he joined Dave to chat about how the competition was judged.But, he's not the only one to win a prestigious award. We heard of the best awards and prizes from around the country.
Dennis Keyes will represent Clare at the 17th Annual Mr. Personality Festival, which is being organised by Kilkenny County Macra. The festival will take place on April 5th and 6th at the Talbot Hotel in Clonmel. To find out more about the festival, Alan Morrissey was joined by Dennis Keyes.
The CEO of Macra, Mick Curran has called for the taxation of holiday homes after it has been revealed that they are putting houses in scenic areas beyond the reach of locals Fine Gael Senator Tim Lombard's Cork South West constituency is one of the areas most affected by holiday homes and he spoke to Newstalk Breakfast this morning.

Traditionally, farms were left to the sons but what about the daughters? Well, The Department of Agriculture has a new plan to promote and normalise female succession in farming. Sean was joined by Elaine Houlihan, Macra na Feirme national president...
The transformation of healthcare is a seemingly insurmountable challenge, yet overcoming any obstacle in the journey begins with the belief that it is possible to win! It's not about the magnitude of the task; it is about the collective will to prioritize the wellbeing of every person we serve in our population. Perhaps when approached with the audacity to imagine a healthier and more equitable future for all, we'll actually get there. And that is just what the Physicians of Southwest Washington (PSW) is realizing as they navigate a successful transition from volume to value. Our guest on the Race to Value this week is Melanie Matthews, the dynamic, creative, and innovative CEO of PSW. She leads a population health company that has been around for three decades. Melanie is not only leading their ACO and managing their progression in the adoption of full-risk Medicare Advantage delegation; she has become a nationally recognized voice for value-based health policy. In listening to this interview, you will hear from a leader that has a real personal capacity for leadership and a clear focus on excellence. If you want to hear from someone that is at the absolute forefront of risk-based contracting and innovation, who understands the issues at a granular level, this episode with Melanie is a must-listen! Episode Bookmarks: 01:30 Introduction to Melanie Matthews and the Physicians of Southwest Washington (PSW) 04:30 PSW has evolved over the last three decades from an IPA to a diverse business that includes a national leading ACO and risk-bearing entity for MA. 06:00 "PSW is a story of independent physicians who, in a time of market consolidation, want to remain independent and focus on the patient relationship." 06:45 Achieving success in delegated risk and taking accountability for both quality and total cost of care. 07:00 The impact of MACRA on the long-term value-based care strategy of PSW. 08:30 Building an infrastructure and developing capabilities to move a value-based agenda. 09:00 Developing a business model for agility in responding to new rules ("a kayak in a sea of cruise ships") and engaging all types of physicians in the landscape. 09:30 "The value-based movement is important as the fee-for-service chassis is not realistic, has poor quality and outcomes, and rising costs." 10:00 Taking risk with physician partners and providing them with MSO services, leveraging a technical infrastructure and population health platform. 10:45 The glacial pace of scaling payment model transformation at CMS and CMMI's bold goal for 2030. 12:00 The increasing shift to home-based care delivery and the use of generative AI in reshaping care delivery. 13:00 How the flawed economic design of the fee-for-service system creates industry inertia. 14:00 Diverting to the known (i.e. fee-for-service care delivery) in times of stress is an unsustainable path forward. 15:00 Convincing the Board room on the tenets of VBC when it hasn't historically delivered on its promises. 16:00 Trends in consumer cost-shifting and the challenges of private insurers cross-subsidizing provider losses from public payers. 16:30 Unsustainable economics in employer-based healthcare and the looming insolvency of Medicare. 17:00 What does the CMMI 2030 Goal mean for future of the value movement? 18:30 An overview of the extensive services offered by PSW that empowers success in VBC. 19:30 The explosive growth of strategic transactions of physician groups and how mass consolidation is impacting the landscape. 21:00 Aligned incentives and access to a population health platform as keys to VBC success. 22:00 PE investment impacts on competition in an independent physician ecosystem. 23:00 Generational differences in the approach to the business of practicing medicine. 23:30 "Organizations that are convened with independent physicians are able to show better costs of care." (vs. employed or vertically integrated systems)
We have a broken healthcare system. Too often, individuals today experience care that is fragmented, duplicative, wasteful, and confusing. Through value-based care, we can improve the health care experience by coordinating care, creating care teams that communicate with one another, and supporting individuals in their care journey with services that address their medical and non-medical needs. Accountable for Health is a nonpartisan national advocacy and policy analysis organization accelerating the adoption of effective accountable care. Their members are advocating for value-based care on Capitol Hill so policymakers can understand how best to move American healthcare towards a model that achieves better outcomes, improved care experiences, increased access, and lower costs. Joining us on the podcast this week is Mara McDermott, the Chief Executive Officer for Accountable for Health. She is an accomplished healthcare executive with deep expertise in federal healthcare law and policy, including delivery system reform, physician payment and payment models. Take this opportunity to learn from a leading expert on accountable care as she translates the truth in building a bridge towards a more broad-based understanding of health value. And make sure to tune in to Mara's special announcement about Health Care Value Week at the end of the interview so you don't miss out on important educational events occurring January 29th thru February 2nd. Episode Bookmarks: 01:30 The need for accountable care policies that create better health outcomes and patient experiences. 02:00 Introduction to Accountable for Health (A4H) and its Founder/CEO Mara McDermott, JD, MPH 03:00 Interview topics discussed (e.g. the meaning of VBC, MSSP vs. MA, MACRA 2.0, advanced APMs, integrated specialty care, Medicaid transformation, and the upcoming Health Care Value Week event). 06:00 How A4H is translating thought leadership to action in the advocacy arena. 06:30 Accountable care as the solution to fragmented, uncoordinated care. 07:00 Political turnover in D.C. has made VBC a "new" health policy solution. 07:30 Educating the Hill comes down to conveying enthusiasm for health care transformation. 08:00 Accountable for Health Members are shaping the national conversation for payment and delivery system reform. 09:00 The health policy controversy of the Global and Professional Direct Contracting model (the precursor to ACO REACH). 11:30 If Direct Contracting was the natural evolution of a series of advanced ACO options, why was there such strong criticism? 12:00 The need to overcome misunderstandings about what ACOs are trying to achieve. 13:00 Providing education to dispel the myth that ACOs can actually limit services. 14:00 How uninformed policy decisions could potentially create a catastrophic blow to the value movement. 14:45 "Accountable care is integral to care delivery system reform." 15:45 Confusion with the term "value-based care" and why it will fail unless people understand the truest aims of the movement. 17:00 The need for effective storytelling to advance care delivery transformation. 18:00 Prioritizing care experience over cost reforms (delivery innovation will address costs!) 20:00 The topline takeaways from CMS model evaluations and whether or not programs should be expanded. 21:00 What do most people think when they hear the word "value"? (the need to reframe the conversation with more precise language) 22:00 The MSSP and the Medicare Advantage programs as two distinct approaches to healthcare delivery and reimbursement. 24:00 Mara provides a brief comparison between MSSP and MA (e.g. beneficiary assignment, risk adjustment, benchmarking). 25:30 How strong relationships between MA plans and provider networks (underpinned by capitation) drive value. 26:30 Understanding provider compensation in MA value-based payment and the synergies between managing MSSP and MA populations.
