Proposed changes to the CY 2019 Physician Fee Schedule would increase the amount of time doctors and other clinicians spend with their patients by reducing the burden of Medicare paperwork.  During this listening session, CMS experts will briefly cover three provisions from the proposed rule and address your clarifying questions to help you formulate your written comments for formal submission:

Streamlining Evaluation and Management (E/M) payment and reducing clinician burden

Advancing virtual care

Continuing to improve the Quality Payment Program to reduce clinician burden, focus on outcomes, and promote interoperability
