The FAFP submitted comments on Monday, September 10, regarding the CMS 2019 Proposed Medicare Fee Schedule noting the administrative simplification efforts are logical but the payment adjustments are flawed. Encouraging CMS to work closely with organized medicine as a whole, particularly the likes of the AAFP which submitted an 80 page response and the FMA, the FAFP leadership is hopeful that the collective comments and concerns from all stakeholders will be taken very seriously by CMS Administrator Seema Verma and her staff. More information will be provided as available considering the final rule will be published in November.
