The House Bill which is the only document the public has available currently to study (while four are in formulation within the U.S. Senate), raises eybrows by shrouding the "Advance Care Planning Consultation" (in the entire bill), beginning on page 425 in legalese. Provisions on page 432 are like the rest of the bill, need clarification and seem at best, deceptive..."(a) IN General-For purposes of reporting data on quality measures for covered professional services furnished during 2011 and any subsequent year, to the extent that measures are available, the Secretary shall include quality measures on end of life care and advanced care planning that have been adopted or endorsed by a consensus-based organization, if appropriate."
Who determines appropriateness?
Define the consensus based organization the bill sites on page 432.
