Doctors once again left behind as Medicare prepares to pay other health care entities more next year.
A proposed cut to doctors in the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) is disappointing, but not surprising, said the leader of the American Academy of Family Physicians.
The U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services published the draft 2025 PFS this month.
The next reimbursement cut would follow years of other CMS reimbursement cuts, while inflation pushes up costs of doing business. Under that formula, physicians’ practices become unsustainable, said Steven P. Furr, MD, FAAFP.
A family physician in Jackson, Alabama, Furr met online with Medical Economics to catch up on the latest developments affecting smaller practices and independent physicians around the nation.
