Comments on Proposed 2026 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Due Today
The public comment period for the calendar year 2026 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) and Quality Payment Program (QPP) proposed rule ends today, September 12, 2025. The Michigan State Medical Society (MSMS) submitted comments on a number of key provisions with the potential to impact care delivery, physician reimbursement, and patient access. There is still time to submit your comments online by 11:59 pm EST. The final rule is expected to be published in November of 2025.
A detailed summary (PDF) of the 2026 Medicare Physician Payment Schedule proposed rule has been prepared by the American Medical Association (AMA). The AMA has also developed a brief summary (PDF) of two provisions in the proposed rule–the efficiency adjustment and indirect practice expenses, as well as a new RUC infographic (PDF).
