CMS released its proposed rule for the Calendar Year (CY) 2027 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) – the annual regulation setting how Medicare pays physicians.
ACEP breaks down everything you need to know as review of the nearly 1,600-page regulation is ongoing.
The bottom line: There is an across-the-board pay cut (1.68%), a significant change to practice expense methodology, and new mandatory quality reporting (MVPs).
What's next: ACEP is analyzing the rule’s impacts on EM and developing a formal response to CMS. More information is coming soon about opportunities to make your concerns heard and to work with Congress to stop these cuts.
