The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) appreciates the opportunity to provide comments on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) on the revisions to Medicare payment policies under the Physician Payment Schedule for calendar year 2011, published in the July 13, 2010 Federal Register. Although very few pediatric services are included in the Medicare program, payment policies introduced in Medicare are frequently adopted by the Medicaid program and eventually by private payers. Therefore, the Academy offers the attached comments on the proposed rule to ensure that new policies appropriately accommodate the unique aspects of health care services delivered by primary care pediatricians, pediatric medical subspecialists, and pediatric surgical specialists.

Abstract

This proposed rule addresses proposed changes to the physician fee schedule and other Medicare Part B payment policies to ensure that our payment systems are updated to reflect changes in medical practice and the relative value of services. It also addresses, implements or discusses certain provisions of both the Affordable Care Act and the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008. In addition, this proposed rule discusses payments under the Ambulance Fee Schedule, Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, payments to ESRD facilities, and payments for Part B drugs. Finally, the proposed rule includes a discussion regarding the Chiropractic Services Demonstration program, the Competitive Bidding Program for Durable Medical Equipment and Provider and Supplier Enrollment Issues associated with Air Ambulances. (See the Table of Contents for a listing of the specific issues addressed in this proposed rule.)
