Dear Administrator Brooks-LaSure:
"On behalf of the Endocrine Society, thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) proposed rule for calendar year (CY) 2023 (CMS-1770-P). Founded in 1916, the Endocrine Society represents approximately 18,000 physicians and scientists engaged in the treatment and research of endocrine disorders, such as diabetes, hypertension, infertility, obesity, osteoporosis, endocrine tumors cancers (i.e., thyroid, adrenal, ovarian, pituitary) and thyroid disease. Many of the patients our members treat are Medicare beneficiaries; consequently, the payment policies and other revisions in the MPFS are of importance to our members."
