AMA applauds HHS for revisions to Medicare E/M policies

Statement attributed to:
Barbara L. McAneny, M.D.
President, American Medical Association

“With physicians facing excessive documentation requirements in their practices, it is relief to see that the Administration not only understands the problem of regulatory burden but is taking concrete steps to address it. Patients are likely to see the effect as their physicians will have more time to spend with them and be able to more quickly locate relevant information in medical records.”
