As the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services continues to churn out glowing data annually on its Quality Payment Program (QPP), a full picture of the program's impact eludes the agency's reporting. According to the Texas Medical Association's analysis of state-level data in the 2018 QPP Experience Report, it's clear that small practices continue to feel most of the program's punitive pressures.
