Your 2027 plan starts with one checklist.
Proposed Medicare payment changes, electronic prior authorization, and new Medicaid reporting rules are coming. Our free checklist shows you how to start preparing.
What’s changing?
Medicare payment change:
CMS has proposed a Medicare conversion factor reduction of about 1.7%.
Electronic prior authorization: Federal payers will be implementing electronic prior authorization in January 2027, with an associated MIPS bonus for participation. This will shift to a requirement of MIPS in 2028.
Medicaid reporting:
New work-reporting rules for extension groups and a smaller retroactive coverage window will add eligibility check steps to your front desk.
Each of these changes is manageable with a little planning. This checklist helps you analyze the steps your practice needs to take to prepare.
