CMS Releases Proposed 2024 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule
Wins include planned implementation of the G2211 code for complex primary care visits; however, the proposed conversion factor will lead to further declines in payment.
ACP is calling on internal medicine physicians to urge the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and Congress to support the implementation of a new Medicare add-on code to support continuity and coordination of care. G2211 is a Medicare-specific add-on code designed to address the complexity inherent in office and outpatient evaluation and management services.
