In case you needed the reminder, CMS is yet again reducing the physician conversion factor: $33.29 in 2024 to $32.35 in 2025.

It was #36.68 in 1998.

If it kept up with inflation, it would have been $68.58 in 2023.

If you're not sure what the conversion factor means for physicians, I discussed it in a previous newsletter here:

Do you know if that is for tradition Medicare? Is it even "worse" for Advantage Plans such as those offered by United Health?
