Dallas, Texas, August 15, 2025—Omniscient Health, a healthcare data science, research and consulting firm, has found doctors are currently paid one-third less for Medicare patients than a decade ago. The 2025 Omniscient Health Physician Medicare Income Report shows the 33.6% decline in real income is driven by three converging forces:
- Traditional Medicare reimbursement rates for outpatient procedures have decreased every year since 2016, for a cumulative decline of 10%.
- Medicare Advantage is worse, with physicians paid an estimated 10% to 15% less than for traditional Medicare patients.
- Over the same period, U.S. inflation has risen by almost 30%, significantly increasing the cost of staff salaries, rent, medical supplies, and technology.
