Projections of the Impact to Arthroplasty Surgeons With Changes to the 2021 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule-A Looming Crisis of Access to Care?|pdf=|usr=}}{{33812713}} gab.com Text Projections of the Impact to Arthroplasty Surgeons With Changes to the 2021 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule-A Looming Crisis of Access to Care JO: J Arthroplasty http://www.kidney.de/pget.php?&tw=1&pmid=33812713 #FOAvip BACKGROUND: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services 2021 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) includes increases in office reimbursement but decreases in the valuation of total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty and the conversion factor. The purpose of this study was to determine the financial impact of these changes on arthroplasty surgeons. METHODS: We queried data for 35 arthroplasty surgeons within our practice from 10/2019 to 10/2020 and captured all office and arthroplasty-related surgical procedure codes. We compared the difference in both work relative value units (RVUs) and Medicare reimbursement by surgeon based on the current 2020 PFS to the 2021 changes. We also estimated the impact of several proposals to include office increases to the global surgical package for each code. RESULTS: While the mean per surgeon RVU amount for primary arthroplasty procedures will decrease (6267 vs 6,088, P = .78), the mean office work RVU (2755 vs 3,220, P = .16) will increase in 2021. However, the reduction in surgical reimbursement ($530,076 in 2020 to $464,414 in 2021) far exceeds the gains from the office ($99,456 vs $107,374), leading to an overall decrease in reimbursement ($629,532 vs $571,788), a reduction of 9%. The passage of the coronavirus disease 2019 relief bill delays many of the PFS cuts and will result in an overall reduction in reimbursement of 2.4% ($629,532 vs $612,475, P = .61). CONCLUSION: Arthroplasty surgeons are projected to lose 2.4% of Medicare reimbursement in 2021 with the changes in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services PFS. Further study is needed to determine whether these cuts will limit access to care for Medicare patients.
