Jan 24, 2012· American Academy of Pediatrics -- IL· CMS-2011-0131-1062

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) appreciates the opportunity to provide comments on the November 1st final rule titled "Medicare Program; Payment Policies Under the Physician Fee Schedule, Five-Year Review of Work Relative Value Units, Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule: Signature on Requisition, and Other Revisions to Part B for CY 2012." Although very few pediatric services are included in the Medicare program, payment policies introduced in Medicare are frequently adopted by state Medicaid/CHIP programs and eventually by private payers. The Academy appreciates the opportunity to provide comments on the November 1st final rule and looks forward to working with CMS to ensure that the physician fee schedule accurately reflects the work value of physician practice and pediatric care.

Oct 12, 2011· American Academy of Pediatrics -- IL· CMS-2011-0131-0592

Dear Dr Berwick: The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) appreciates the opportunity to provide the attached 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 2012, published in the July 19, 2011 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 these 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. The Academy looks forward to working with CMS to ensure that the physician fee schedule accurately reflects the work value of physician practice and pediatric care. Sincerely, O. Marion Burton, MD, FAAP President
