CMS 2025 Proposed Physicians Fee Schedule

Each and every year CMS goes through the process of creating the Physicians Proposed Fee Schedule to become effective on January 1st of the following year.  The proposed rule is available in July, and there is a 60-day comment period in which anyone can comment on the proposed rule.  At the end of the 60 days, CMS reviews all the comments and in the first week of November the final rule appears in the Federal Register.  There can be differences between the proposed rule and final rule, but most frequently there are revisions, but not major changes.
