PIPC Comments on MedPAC Consideration of Bundled Payments

4/3/2015

PIPC Chairman Tony Coelho: "On behalf of millions of patients represented by our membership, PIPC urges MedPAC to expand the role of shared decision-making in Medicare, not reduce it. After hearing today’s recommendations related to bundling, however, we can’t help but harbor concerns that MedPAC is instead pursuing policies to reduce the role of patients by centralizing judgments about the comparative clinical value of treatments in a manner that puts a government agency between the doctor and the patient in determining an appropriate treatment regimen.
