The CY 2026 Physician Fee Schedule is finalized, and the changes will shape how we deliver care, document services, and plan for sustainability.

Here is what providers should watch:
• Updated reimbursement rates that may shift practice revenue
• New quality measure expectations that reward meaningful outcomes
• Continued focus on care coordination and whole person health
• More clarity around telehealth flexibilities and compliance

Now is the time to review workflows, strengthen documentation, and align your teams with the new requirements. Small adjustments today can protect performance in 2026.

If you need help interpreting the changes or building a strategy, CHESS is here to support you.

Are your patients struggling to adherence to their medication?

Empathetic listening, questioning, and honoring patient voices in decision-making can help bring awareness to patient preferences and beliefs to improve adherence.

When used correctly, G-codes help identify FQHC encounters, support accurate Medicaid payment, and strengthen reporting for care management and value-based initiatives.

They are not just a billing detail… they are a way to ensure services are recognized and valued.

Clear documentation, the right workflows, and team education can make G-codes easier to use and reduce claim issues.

January is Cervical Cancer Screening Month, a timely reminder of how routine preventive care saves lives.

For many patients, a screening appointment is easy to delay or avoid. A quick conversation during a visit can make a real difference. Recommending a Pap test or HPV screening helps catch changes early, when treatment is most effective.

Small actions support better outcomes for patients and stronger quality performance for your practice.

🚨 Medication Non-Adherence: A Silent Threat in Value-Based Care

Did you know that nearly 50% of patients don't take their medications as prescribed? This challenge impacts patient outcomes, drives up avoidable healthcare costs, and puts value-based care goals at risks.

Drive medication adherence by:
1. Considering as 1st reason patient's condition is uncontrolled
2. Asking patients about adherence
3. Creating trusting environment for discussion
4. Identifying barrier to adherence
5. Responding positively and thanking patient for sharing
6. Tailoring adherence solution
7. Involving patient in treatment plan
8. Setting the patient up for success

How does your team tackle medication non-adherence?

Myth: If a condition is stable, it doesn't need to be documented again.

Fact: Chronic conditions must be assessed, documented, and coded every year to accurately reflect patient complexity and support risk adjustment.

Even when nothing has changed clinically, documentation matters. Annual capture ensures care teams, payers, and quality programs see the full picture of the patient you are managing every day.
