Comments to CY 2022 Physician Fee Schedule

The Coalition submitted comments to CMS' proposed CY 2022 updates to the Physician Fee Schedule and voiced objections to:

• The creation of new G codes for the application of synthetic skin substitutes;
• Considering synthetic products “incident-to” supplies;
• The packaging of skin substitutes in the physician office; and
• Using contractor pricing for synthetic skin substitutes.

The Coalition noted the impacts of these provisions and provided alternative recommendations for CMS consideration.
