UCR 296: 2027 Medicare Proposed Rule – The Changes That Matter Most to Urology

July 17, 2026In this episode, Scott and Mark Painter provide their initial analysis of CMS's proposed 2027 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule and highlight the changes most likely to impact urology practices. The discussion covers the proposed conversion factor reduction, a significant new proposal to apply the multiple procedure payment reduction to E/M services billed with modifier 25, changes to G2211, updates to practice expense methodology, prostate biopsy coding revisions, telehealth proposals, and a substantial reimbursement increase for bulking agent injections. The team also shares practical insight into what these proposals could mean for physician compensation, practice operations, and future commercial payer policies. The key takeaway: while the rule is still only proposed, now is the time for urology practices to understand the changes, submit meaningful comments, and begin planning for what could be a very different reimbursement landscape in 2027. PRS Coding and Reimbursement HubAccess the HubBotox LCD AlertDownload the AlertFree In-Office Prostate Biopsy Calculator (Suppoted by UC-Care)Download NowPRS Coding CoursesFor UrologistFor APPsFor Coders, Billers, and Admins Join the Urology Pharma and Tech Pioneer GroupEmpowering urology practices to adopt new technology faster by providing clear reimbursement strategies—ensuring the practice gets paid and patients benefit sooner.         https://www.prsnetwork.com/joinuptpClick Here to Start Your Free Trial of AUACodingToday.com   The Thriving Urology Practice Facebook group.The Thriving Urology Practice Facebook Group link to join:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ThrivingPractice/
