Clinical gatherings are detailing that there are scarcely enough attendants to deal with patients, not to mention invest energy exploring burdensome earlier approval necessities or announcing clinically unessential quality measures to Medicare.

We encourage CMS to team up with partners in the improvement of an APM portfolio that genuinely addresses and changes patient consideration.”
