CMS’s 2022 Physician Fee Schedule Final Rule brought a sigh of relief to many groups. CMS is adopting CPT^® prefatory language and rules. So this article about the differences doesn’t describe differences.

I’ve removed this article that listed the differences between CPT and CMS because they aren’t relevant in 2022.
