The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) created the new G2211 add-on code to address the time, intensity, and expense involved in conducting patient visits for the management of those with chronic and complex conditions. Use of this new modifier code can help ophthalmologists build strong long-term relationships with patients to benefit their longitudinal care. Drs. Lee Alward and Young Kwon join host Dr. Andrew Pouw to share their experiences and wisdom for building trust and rapport towards a valuable patient-physician relationship.

In today's episode, neuro-ophthalmologist and NASA consultant Dr. Andy Lee shares what we know about SANS and its implications on our terrestrial knowledge, technology, and the future.
