Episode : CMS 2027: Beyond the Cut

With Kit Crancer

 In this timely Voices of Experience conversation, Dianne Keen, FRBMA is joined by Kit Crancer, SVP of Public Policy at RAYUS, for a deeper look at the 2027 CMS proposed rules and what the headlines may be missing. Together, they unpack how MPFS conversion factor cuts, specialty-table offsets, and sweeping OPPS site-neutral proposals could affect radiology practices very differently depending on setting, modality mix, and payer dynamics.

This episode goes beyond a surface-level policy recap. Kit explains why some practices may see modest relief even inside a difficult reimbursement environment, why others could face meaningful pressure from site-neutral changes, and how those decisions could ripple into commercial leverage, hospital partnerships, imaging access, and long-term patient care.

  • How reimbursement shifts could reshape payer leverage, hospital strategy, and access to care
