On November 16, 2012, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services published its final rule (77 Fed. Reg. 68891) for payment policies under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, and made other policy changes related to Medicare Part B payment for services furnished in the 2013 calendar year. The final rule prioritizes the development and implementation of a series of initiatives designed to improve payment for, and encourage long-term investment in, primary care and care management services.
