LUGPA Submits Comprehensive Feedback on CY 2025 MPFS and OPPS Proposed Rules,
Advocating for Independent Urology Practices

In response to CMS's CY 2025 proposals, LUGPA has submitted detailed comments advocating for independent urology practices on the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) and the Medicare Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) and Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC) Payment System Proposed Rule. LUGPA expressed concerns about the proposed 2.8% payment cut in the MPFS, highlighting its adverse impact on practices facing rising costs and workforce shortages. Recommendations include adjustments to payment policies to protect patient care and practice sustainability, with proposals to enhance code G2211 and reconsider cuts to chronic care management. The OPPS comment supports site neutrality and reduced ASC administrative burdens, endorsing policies for urological technology access and invoice pricing for drugs. LUGPA's advocacy aims for fair payment structures, enabling practice viability and accessible care. The full MPFS comment and the OPPS comment are available here.
