DERMATOLOGY PRACTICE STAFF - Contact Congress Now
Proposed Medicare cuts threaten patient care and undermine the support healthcare workers need to deliver it.

CMS has proposed cutting dermatology reimbursement by 11% in Year 1, escalating to an estimated 15% to 18% annually under the CY 2027 Fee Schedule. One of the main drivers is a deep cut to specialty practice expense reimbursement, which directly funds practice operations, staffing, and overhead. Healthcare workers need proper support to do their jobs, but when practices are stretched too thin, the entire team struggles to deliver the care seniors need.

Roughly 90% of the top 50 procedure codes in dermatology are the exact codes used every day to diagnose and treat skin cancer. In many states, Medicare rates will also fall below Medicaid.

Please tell Congress to push back. Our pre-written letter takes under a minute to send. Click to send it as-is or personalize it with what you see on the front lines of patient care.
