Modifier 25 Media Report

WHY IT MATTERS FOR PATIENTS

A payment policy becomes a patient-access problem

Delayed care

Patients may be required to return for separate appointments.

Reduced access

Practices may limit Medicare appointments, staff, or services.

Additional travel, wait times, and out-of-pocket costs fall on patients and caregivers.

Greater burden

AAO-HNS asks Congress to urge CMS to withdraw the proposed Modifier -25 payment reduction.
