Patient care under continued threat in proposed Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Surgical Care Coalition urges Congress to address systemic challenges to stop the annual reductions in patient care News provided by Share this article Share this article WASHINGTON, July 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ The proposed Medicare Physician Fee Schedule for calendar year 2022 (CY2022) released today by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) fails to address pending cuts to surgical care and therefore continues to threaten patient care by reaffirming these previously imposed misguided cuts, argues the Surgical Care Coalition.  CMS is proposing to cut the Medicare conversion factor the basic starting point for calculating Medicare payments for CY2022 by 3.75%. This year s cut is reinstating the cut that Congress prevented last year, which further emphasizes the need for continued congressional intervention to protect patient care.
