IPSIS Joins AMA and Others in Expressing Concern to HHS Regarding E&M Budget Neutrality

Thursday, July 9, 2020  
IPSIS joined the American Medical Association (AMA) and many other physician organizations and state medical societies in submitting a letter to Alex Azar, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), urging HHS to utilize its authority under the public health emergency declaration to preserve patient access to care and mitigate financial distress due to the pandemic by implementing the office visit increases as planned while waiving budget neutrality requirements for the new Medicare office visit payment policy.
