On July 12th, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a proposed rule that would update the Physician Fee Schedule and a number of other Medicare payment policies and programs, including updates to the Medicare Shared Savings Program and the Quality Payment Program. Proposed changes impact numerous areas of Medicare reimbursement and reporting, including telehealth, selected non-physician services, technology standards and quality measures.
CMS will accept comments on the rule until September 10th. A summary of the proposed rule is attached, and the entire 1,473 page proposed rule is available here.
