On July 14, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released its Calendar Year (CY) 2027 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Rule. The rule advances multiple policies that would help improve the nation’s health by strengthening primary care in Medicare. It also provides the primary care community an opportunity to weigh in on future policies through a request for information.
In a new Issue Brief, the Primary Care Collaborative (PCC) identifies five key areas for comment, followed by a more detailed breakdown of CMS proposals, issues raised by the RFI and what’s needed next from Medicare policymakers. It is intended to inform PCC members and the broader primary care community as they craft their responses to the draft rule.
