As we near the end of 2022, we head into a somewhat changing healthcare climate. There have been significant changes in Medicare, with premium and deductible increases. Last year physicians faced Medicare payment cuts totaling 9.75%, which is scheduled to take into effect on January 1, 2023. With these changes mounting more difficulties for medical doctors around the country, the future is not looking any better. There has never been a better time for doctors to expand their practice to not only survive, but thrive despite the outlook.
Medicare Changes
In an article on ama-assn.org, it is stated that ‘physicians are facing a “portfolio of cuts” totaling 4.5%…but that’s just the beginning. Coupled with 9% inflation, physicians’ Medicare payment update for 2023 is 0%. Also, a 5% bonus for successfully participating in an alternative payment model is expiring and a $500 million bonus pool for Merit-based Incentive Payment System high performers is “going away,” Jason Marino, the AMA’s director of congressional affairs, said in a webinar.’
