@rshawnm @CMSGov In 1992, Medicare paid ~$1,250 for a breast reduction. Today it’s ~$1,000 — a 60% pay cut after inflation.
Clinic costs and staff wages keep rising, but physician pay keeps falling.
This isn’t greed — it’s survival.

@rshawnm @CMSGov Good luck finding that plastic surgeon who will help the family practice physician who needs their patient to get a breast reduction. CMS is stealing from one physician to give to another. This isn’t a good final rule by cutting surgeon’s pay and saying it is efficiency.

Today, CMS issued the calendar year (CY) 2026 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) final rule, which advances primary care management through improved quality measures, reduces waste and inappropriate use of skin substitutes, and introduces a new payment model focused on improving care for chronic disease management. https://t.co/0yTBWRLor6

@CMSGov This isn’t about greed — it’s about survival.
When physician reimbursements don’t keep up, it threatens access to care for everyone.

@CMSGov 🩺 Medicare has cut physician pay for decades. Breast reduction surgery paid about $1,250 in 1992, today pays about $1,000.

After adjusting for inflation, that’s a 60% pay cut in real dollars.
Meanwhile, clinic costs, staff wages, and compliance burdens have skyrocketed.
