CY27 Physician Fee Schedule Proposed Rule: Digital Health at a Glance​

Here’s what we said in our analysis last week: As Maverick continually reports, HHS is actively executing a massive structural and financial shift to support, fund, and incentivize artificial intelligence and digital health integration across the American healthcare system. The CY 2027 PFS Proposed Rule is just more evidence that the agency is leveraging every available tool – even an annual update on physician payment rates – to accelerate technology adoption. The proposed rule’s multiple RFIs suggest that CMS is actively exploring how to change Medicare’s current coding and reimbursement infrastructure to better support AI and tech-enabled care. Most stakeholders in the health care system will be impacted – directly or indirectly – by the final decisions about the proposals here. At the time of this writing, interested parties have seven weeks to draft their thoughtful responses to the many questions posed in the proposed PFS – a major opportunity to shape the future of payment for medical services in the United States.
