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.
