In this episode, Scott and Mark Painter provide their initial analysis of CMS's proposed 2027 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule and highlight the changes most likely to impact urology practices. The discussion covers the proposed conversion factor reduction, a significant new proposal to apply the multiple procedure payment reduction to E/M services billed with modifier 25, changes to G2211, updates to practice expense methodology, prostate biopsy coding revisions, telehealth proposals, and a substantial reimbursement increase for bulking agent injections. The team also shares practical insight into what these proposals could mean for physician compensation, practice operations, and future commercial payer policies. The key takeaway: while the rule is still only proposed, now is the time for urology practices to understand the changes, submit meaningful comments, and begin planning for what could be a very different reimbursement landscape in 2027.
