Absent any last-minute Congressional action, physicians will suffer a 2.83% fee schedule reduction for 2025. This is slightly more of a cut than had been predicted in the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) Proposed Rule that was issued in July. As we reported in our analysis of the Proposed Rule , this reduction in payments continues a trend that has seen the Medicare fee schedule reduced by nearly 10% over the past 10 years.

The cloud is meant to be a safer way to store data compared to on-premise solutions like hard drives. However, that doesn’t mean it’s 100% secure. Cloud service providers are often the victims of cyber attacks. In fact, this technology is the second-most popular target for hackers. Cloud misconfigurations, flimsy access controls, and poor incident response plans are among the most common vulnerabilities for cloud attacks.
