Recent health reform efforts and changes in health care markets more broadly are creating a new financial reality for cardiologists and other health care providers (1). Although many of the initial value-based payment models focused on the inpatient setting, attention is now shifting to outpatient care. All physicians billing Medicare for ambulatory services, absent certain exemptions, are now required to participate in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Merit-Based Incentive Payment System, which evaluates clinicians on quality, costs, use of electronic health records, and participation in practice improvement activities. Another option is for clinicians to join alternative payment models, such as accountable care organizations or bundled payment programs, which typically award bonuses and penalties based on quality and costs of care. On the private payer side, insurers continue to consolidate in efforts to increase their market power, which may influence the ability of cardiologists to negotiate contracts and reimbursements and the administrative complexity of doing so.
