A recent Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) survey revealed 37% of medical group leaders say that their biggest new investments next year will be focused on workforce expenses. "Not surprisingly, budget talks still revolve around pay and retention," writes MGMA Senior Editor Chris Harrop. Another 30% of respondents reported healthcare technology would account for their biggest area of new investments. "AI tools, new or upgraded EHR/PM systems, and cloud migrations anchor many leaders’ tech plans," according to Harrop.

If your primary care practice does not offer remote physiologic monitoring (RPM) capabilities, it may be time to start. A study from researchers at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health found practices that adopted RPM saw a 20% increase in Medicare revenue over the course of two years. According to Medical Economics, "Most of that growth came directly from RPM billing, but roughly one-quarter stemmed from additional care management and outpatient visits."

Last Friday, while many of us were handing out Halloween candy, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services finalized the physician fee schedule for 2026. According to Healthcare Dive, the new fee schedule includes a "controversial" pay cut for specialty doctors that aims to normalize reimbursement rates between specialists and primary care physicians. "The massive payment rule includes a so-called 'efficiency adjustment', which reduces payment for thousands of services including surgeries, outpatient interventions, pain management and more starting next year," writes Senior Reporter Rebecca Pifer.
