On Friday, September 27, 2019, PCPCC submitted formal comments regarding the physician fee schedule. Specifically, PCPCC commented on the evaluation and management (E/M) codes, Medicare coverage for opioid use disorder, physician supervision for physician assistants, care management services, payment bundles, and and updates to the Quality Payment Program. While PCPCC was pleased with many of the updates in the proposed rule, there were some concerns, including the risk that removing the accreditation organizations for Patient-Centered Medical Home for performance improvement under MIPs could dilute standards for PCMH.
