CMS’s 2021 Proposed Physician Rule | Webinar

Recorded on August 27th, 2020

The proposed rule was released a month later than usual, but is packed with policy changes and news.

CMS confirms, again, that it is accepting the AMA/CPT® coding changes for office and other outpatient visit codes 99202—99215. An increase in the RVUs for these services comes with a significant decrease in the conversion factor. There are proposed changes to telehealth after the public health emergency, clarifications to remote monitoring coding, and updates on scope of practice and supervision.

Join us for this webinar and see what CMS has in store for 2021.

This webinar will provide a high-level overview of the policy changes that CMS discusses in their 2021 proposed rule.

At the end of the session, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the timeline for comments and the final rule
  • List policy changes that will affect their practices in the next year
  • Prepare for telehealth changes after the public health emergency
