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.
