CY 2027 proposed PFS
What the proposed rule could mean for Interventional Pain Management.
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.
-1.2%CMS specialty estimate
-1.3%Fulcrum reconstruction
CMS's projected overall impact for Interventional Pain Management
CMS's own reconciliation table (Table D-B5) puts interventional pain management at -1.2% 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 -1.3%, a net reduction of $11 million in national allowed charges.
Interventional Pain Management bills about 81% of its Medicare dollars in the office (non-facility) setting, where nearly all of the change lands.
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. 48% of interventional pain management practitioners land in the -1 to +1% band, and about 16% see a cut deeper than 2%. Where a practice lands is a question of service mix: the interventional pain management practices hit hardest are those with the most image-guided injection and radiofrequency-ablation volume.
