Hi All,

I am trying to figure out if CMS is going to or has published a proposed rule for the 2021 changes this year or if this will just be the final rule expected in November. Anyone have any insight on this? Thank you!
 
On 8/5/20, the AMA said this regarding the changes: What’s the news: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) signaled in this week’s proposed Medicare physician payment schedule that it will implement finalized E/M office-visit guidelines and pay rates as planned for Jan. 1, 2021. That means big changes are ahead in the coding, documentation and payment of these evaluation-and-management services, but physicians have a raft of E/M resources from the AMA to help them prepare for these shifts.
