The Center for Medicare Advocacy (CMA) submitted comments on Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed rule regarding “Medicare and Medicaid Programs: Calendar Year 2026 Payment Policies under the Physician Fee Schedule and Other Changes to Part B Payment and Coverage Policies; Medicare Shared Savings Program Requirements; and Medicare Prescription Drug Inflation Rebate Program.” CMA’s comments focused largely on CMS’s ongoing work to clarify and implement “inextricably linked” oral health coverage in Medicare, including suggestions to advance implementation of the payment rule so that beneficiaries can access covered care. Comments on the proposed rule are due Friday, September 12, 2025, at regulations.gov.
