Six Days Left on the Only CMS Rule Still Taking Comments
The CY2027 physician fee schedule docket shut on Monday at 44,287 comments, two thirds of everything CMS has drawn all year. What is still open is a 38-page Medicaid financing rule sitting on 31 comments, and the coverage database has not published a MAC change in nine days.
The comment window on the rule that reprices every RVU you bill closed at 11:59pm Monday.
Nobody announced it. The docket just stopped accepting, the way a docket does, and CMS-1848-P went from a live proceeding to a pile of 44,287 comments that a rule-writing team now has to answer in the final rule due around November 1.
Two thirds of every comment CMS has drawn on anything in 2026 is sitting in that one file.
