Washington, D.C. – Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (R-TX), Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade, issued the following statement on the Center of Medicare & Medicaid Services’ announcement of a new initiative to improve the clinician experience with the Medicare program. "I am encouraged by CMS’ efforts to improve its engagement with clinicians and the concrete steps the agency is taking to implement clinician-driven solutions. It is clear that the listening sessions that CMS has been conducting have increased the agency’s understanding of the divide between how physicians practice and the agency’s regulation of the industry. As we await the final rule, CMS must continue prioritizing flexibility to allow physicians to focus on patient care.”Read the CMS press release here.
