Initial AAFP Summary on Proposed 2021 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule

On August 4, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the proposed 2021 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. This 1,353-page regulation also impacts the Quality Payment Program (QPP).

Comments on the proposal are due by Monday, October 5. The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) is thoroughly reviewing the proposal and will provide formal comments to the agency prior to the AAFP’s Congress of Delegates meeting.

To help family physicians understand the proposed changes, the AAFP has created an initial summary.
