The American College of Radiology (ACR) has published impact tables showing how the 2027 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) proposed rule would affect reimbursement for radiology-related services.
The tables compare proposed 2027 payment rates with 2026 rates for individual Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes billed by radiologists, interventional radiologists, and radiation oncologists, and include analyses of both 70,000-series and non-70,000 CPT codes, the ACR noted.
Beginning January 1, Medicare will use two separate conversion factors under the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA), a proposed $33.1693 for qualifying Alternative Payment Model (APM) participants and $32.8409 for non-APM participants, ACR said. The current impact tables use the proposed non-APM conversion factor.
ACR staff will update the tables once the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) releases the final 2027 MPFS rule later this year, using the finalized conversion factor.
