CMS to Host November 19 PFS Final Rule Open Call

On Monday, November 19, from 2:00 to 3:30 PM ET, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will host a call to address three key topics stemming from the finalization of the CY 2019 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) Final Rule. During this call, CMS experts will briefly cover three provisions and address questions related to:

• Streamlining Evaluation and Management (E/M) payment and reducing clinician burden
• Advancing virtual care
• Continuing to improve the Quality Payment Program to reduce burden and offer flexibilities to help clinicians successfully participate.
  

Participants are encouraged to review the final rule prior to the call and the following materials:

• Physician Fee Schedule: Press release, fact sheet, and E/M payment chart
• Quality Payment Program: Year 3 overview fact sheet and quick start guide for MIPS 2019 participation.
