Care for Patients with Mobility-Related Impairments: CMS is proposing to pay physicians more accurately for furnishing services to beneficiaries with mobility-related impairments. This increase in payment will improve quality and access for this vulnerable population.
In addition, CMS evaluated concerns about payment adjustments to Puerto Rican clinicians based on local costs and is proposing a change that would more accurately reflect these costs and significantly increase payments in the Commonwealth. Other changes in the proposed regulation would enhance program integrity and data transparency in the Medicare Advantage program.
