ACRO has signed onto a letter expressing concern that the 2023 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule will undermine the financial viability of physician practices and limit seniors’ access to care.
In part the letter reads, “The proposed Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) for calendar year 2023 (CY2023) released on July 7, 2022, by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) once again undermines the long-term financial viability of physician practices and seniors’ access to critical treatments and procedures, by implementing significant cuts in physician reimbursement. Community-based office setting specialty care is a critical part of the nation’s healthcare infrastructure, and we are certain CMS’ reimbursement policy will have repercussions for the future, impacting access and value.”
