RE: 42 CFR Parts 422, 423, 438, and 498: Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Policy and Technical Changes to the Medicare Advantage, Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit, Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), Medicaid Fee-for-Service, and Medicaid Managed Care Programs for Years 2020 and 2021
The Panel welcomes the opportunity to submit comments on the Medicare Advantage, Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit, Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), Medicaid Fee-for-Service, and Medicaid Managed Care Programs for years 2020 and 2021 proposed rule.
Overall, the Panel supports efforts to improve telehealth in Medicare as it will give seniors more access to care. Medicare represents a higher proportion of patients for most rural health care organizations and clinicians than in urban areas, so Medicare policies may have a disproportionate impact on rural providers, hospitals, and beneficiaries.
