The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized the Calendar Year (CY) 2027 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, which included a 20% payment reduction for services reported on the same day with a Modifier 25.
These cuts are not supported by evidence or empirical data and will further reduce reimbursement below the cost of providing care, threatening the financial sustainability of podiatric practices and jeopardizing patient access to medically necessary same-day care.
Congress must act to stop these harmful cuts! Contact your members of Congress today and urge them to enact a temporary moratorium before the end of 2026 to halt the 20 percent payment cut. As a podiatric medical student, it is crucial to let Congress know how the policy would negatively impact patient access and long-term practice stability.
