Proposed policy, payment, and quality provisions changes to the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule July 25, 2018 Managed Care, Medicare CMS, PFS, Physician Fee Schedule, QPP, Quality Payment Program 0 On July 12, 2018, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the 2019 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule and Quality Payment Program proposed rule with comment period. This is the first year the two rules have been combined. CMS also issued QPP and PFS fact sheets on the proposed rule. CMS is accepting comments on the proposed rule through September 10, 2018. The final rule is expected to be released in early November. American Medical Association staff is continuing to conduct a detailed review of the proposed rule and will work with our colleagues in the federation to further analyze and draft responses to these proposals in the coming weeks. To that end, we would greatly appreciate other medical societies and physician organizations sharing with us their thoughts on the proposed policies. Comments are closed.
