    Dear Association Executives - Last week, CMS published the final 2021 updates for the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) and Quality Payment Program. The National Council submitted comments to CMS in October regarding the CY2021 PFS and offered support for many of the provisions that were later finalized. The National Council applauds CMS' efforts to expand a number of telehealth flexibilities to providers and patients and significantly increase access to naloxone. Attached is the National Council's summary of the new PFS. Please let us know if you have any questions.
