Stay Informed: CMS 2023 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Proposed Rule Summary

Last month, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released the proposed 2023 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule rules. CMS published a fact sheet on the proposed rule highlighting its key provisions, and the American Medical Association (AMA) has released a 12-page summary. If finalized, the proposed policies in the rule will take effect on January 1, 2023.

The American Academy of Ophthalmology is raising scope concerns over a concept in the proposed rule to create a combined new ophthalmology and optometry specialty set under the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System.
