TL;DR: Little is known about longer-term trends during the era of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA)—an important gap given the increase in valuebased payment models under MACRA and potential to use AWVs to increase revenue and lower total healthcare spending in these models.
