Cognitive Care Alliance Letter on GPC1X Code Utilization

To:Carol Blackford, Director, Division of Practitioner Services, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services 

"In summary, the GPC1X refinements developed by CMS should allow the GPC1X add-on code to be used with all the new and established outpatient E/M visits by (1) all first contact primary care physicians and specialty physicians assuming responsibility for continuous care and (2) those primary care and consultative specialty physicians where the focus of the specialty requires a continually updated knowledge-base. With these parameters in place, CMS can begin to estimate the GPC1X’s utilization."
