Stop CMS from Implementing Proposed Changes to the E/M Codes

Although the American College of Radiology (ACR) appreciates CMS’
commitment to reducing physician burden and documentation requirements, the
ACR is deeply concerned about the sizable cuts this proposal will impose upon
radiology and other medical providers that do not frequently bill E/M
services.

The proposed changes for E/M payments will result in significant payment
redistribution within the Fee Schedule. Given the broad fiscal impact of the
proposed policy, Congress should debate the merits of this issue and work to
achieve consensus on a more equitable policy solution that penalizes no
physician specialty.

Call, FAX or email your Congressman and Senators to contact CMS and tell them NOT to implement its proposed E/M policy as stated in the 2020 MPFS Proposed Rule.
