Medicare proposes pay cuts for specialty physicians in 2026 rule

Medicare proposes pay cuts for specialty physicians in 2026 rule
SHARE

Medicare is proposing significant cuts to the rates of various medical procedures, scans, and tests in an effort to address the disparities between highly paid specialists and primary care doctors. The decision comes after the realization that more than half of the 10,000 billing codes used by physicians have not been reevaluated in over 30 years, leading to an outdated payment system.

The current pricing of medical services, which relies on surveys of physician practices with low response rates, is also being criticized by the federal Medicare agency. They aim to exclude this input moving forward, as it has been influenced by the American Medical Association, the industry’s main lobbying group. The system has long been accused of being complex and biased towards higher-paid specialists, often at the expense of primary care clinicians.

Experts have long called for reform in the payment system to ensure fair compensation for all healthcare providers. By revisiting and potentially revising the rates for medical services, Medicare hopes to create a more balanced approach that values the work of primary care doctors as much as specialists.

The proposed cuts are a significant step towards addressing the inequities in the current payment system and could have far-reaching implications for healthcare providers across the country. It remains to be seen how these changes will impact the overall healthcare landscape, but it is clear that Medicare is taking proactive steps to address long-standing issues in the industry.
