42,968 Comments on One Rule and Nine on Another
CMS filed one document with the Federal Register in four days. Meanwhile the CY2027 physician fee schedule docket has taken 42,968 comments, two thirds of everything filed on CMS rulemaking since May, and it shuts Monday. The RAPID device coverage pathway CMS proposed in August has nine, and it stays open until October 13.
CMS filed exactly one document with the Federal Register between Thursday morning and this morning, and it schedules a meeting for December.
The transmittal page has not moved since September 3. The coverage database export is byte-for-byte what it was Thursday at 2 a.m.
Cigna's September policy update is still a 404, on the fifth consecutive check.
So the number worth having this morning came from the other side of the counter. The CY2027 physician fee schedule proposed rule is sitting on 42,968 public comments, and the window shuts a week from today.
