CMS giveth, and CMS taketh away

June 29, 2006

CMS published its proposed 2007 Medicare physician fee schedule today (all 260-some pages of it).  It’s a good news/bad news sort of announcement.  The good news is that CMS recognizes that physician work RVUs are undervalued, collectively, by about $4 billion.  The bad news is that budget neutrality rules won’t let CMS actually pay physicians $4 billion more next year.  Ah, well.
