Contract intelligence
Structure payer products, fee schedules, Medicare tiebacks, and effective dates in one usable model.
Practice financial intelligence
Fulcrum for Internal Medicine.
See how every contract, payment, and service line performs. See how office visits, preventive services, care management, and facility work perform by payer product.
Financial visibility for Internal Medicine
High-volume E/M revenue magnifies small contract and fee-schedule changes.
Fulcrum gives internal medicine groups a contract-level view of expected payment, likely variance, and future rate changes across the services they bill most.

CY 2027 proposed PFS
What the proposed rule could mean for Internal Medicine.
A national specialty average is useful context, not a practice forecast. Your result depends on your codes, volume, locality, sites of service, and Medicare-linked contracts.
+1.7%CMS specialty estimate
+2.7%Fulcrum reconstruction
CMS's projected overall impact for Internal Medicine
CMS's own reconciliation table (Table D-B5) puts internal medicine at +1.7% for 2027. That figure is the specialty-wide, volume-weighted change in total RVU-based allowed charges: the aggregate gain or loss across every code the specialty bills, before the separate conversion-factor cut. Our reconstruction agrees closely at +2.7%, a net gain of $225 million in national allowed charges.
Internal Medicine bills about 58% of its Medicare dollars in the office (non-facility) setting. By site of service, the 2027 change splits as follows:
| Site of service | Change | Allowed $ |
|---|---|---|
| Office (non-facility) | +3.3% | +$162M |
| Facility | +1.8% | +$63M |
All figures are national, hold 2025 utilization fixed, and exclude the separate 1.68% conversion-factor cut that lands on every specialty on top of this.
The average hides the practice-level spread.
How Fulcrum models the PFS →
The specialty average hides a wide spread, and CMS's own practitioner-level file proves it. 69% of internal medicine practitioners land in the -1 to +1% band, and about 20% see an increase above 2%. Where a practice lands is a question of service mix: the internal medicine practices that gain the most are those with the most office visits and chronic-care management carrying the G2211 add-on.
