The U.S. CMS posted the draft Medicare physician fee schedule (MPFS) for calendar year 2023, and advocates of telehealth will be cheered by a proposed extension of some pandemic-driven telehealth services throughout 2023. The draft is less generous in connection with external electrocardiogram patches in a move that could ding Irhythm Technologies Inc., and its Zio XT device, but analysts at BTIG predict that any hit to reimbursement rates is likely to be offset with greater sales volumes, leaving Irhythm and its investors in a solid place going forward.
