Has anyone seen this? Not sure if it relates to this thread. Perhaps I'm late to the game. Not sure how this will manifest logistically.

More hoops to jump through to take care of people
Probably increases costs

That sounds like MIPS but even worse. It would incentivize opioids because those are cheap, and patients will swear up and down on the patient-reported outcomes measures it requires that the pills are improving their function.

i mean i already do this kind of treatment, but i have absolutely no interest in to being forced to perform in this particular manner.

Thanks for sharing this. I think I keep up with everything but had not seen that. Hopefully, my urinal parts company takes off so I can retire from this BS.

What are we going to do....

Fly around the country selling urinal components.
