Comments to CMS CY2021 Proposed Physician Fee Schedule
The Coalition submitted comments to the CY 2021 proposed physician fee schedule. We:
- Recommended that CMS add codes for disposable negative pressure wound therapy (dNPWT) to the eligible telehealth list,
- Opposed CMS failure to adopt ALL of the RUC recommended work and time values for the revised office visit E/M codes for CY 2021, including and especially the RUC’s recommendation of commensurately including the updated E/M values in procedure codes with 10 and 90 day global periods.
