It is once again time to take a look at CMS’s proposed new physician payment, additional benefits and coding change guidelines for the coming year. CMS publishes the proposed guidelines in July every year to give providers and payers a chance to review their proposals. The proposed rule gives providers a chance to make positive or negative comments on their proposed changes. In some cases, provider comments can influence CMS to deviate from their original proposed guidelines. It is very important for providers and staff to know what is in the proposed rule in order to provide CMS with quality feedback. This year many services previously reviewed or implemented in 2023 have been extended through 2024.
Learning Objectives:
- Will CMS’s new conversion factor for 2023 affect your bottom line
- How shared care will change for 2024

- Learn and review the role of clinical psychologists, and clinical social workers, professional licensed counselors and licensed marriage and family therapists in improvements to access to behavioral health services in addition to delaying the requirement for an in-person visit with the physician or practitioner within six months prior to initiating mental health telehealth services

- Know the impact and payments for Community Health Integration, Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Risk Assessment, and Principal Illness Navigation services
- Examine proposed changes to elements of the Annual Wellness Visit
