President-elect Donald Trump is nominating celebrity doctor and television personality Mehmet Oz to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

“America is facing a Healthcare Crisis, and there may be no Physician more qualified and capable than Dr. Oz to Make America Healthy Again,” Trump said in a statement Tuesday. “Dr. Oz will work closely with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to take on the illness industrial complex, and all the horrible chronic diseases left in its wake.”  The celebrity doctor ran for Senate in Pennsylvania in 2022, and with Trump’s endorsement defeated former Bridgewater Associates chief executive officer Dave McCormick in a fiercely contested Republican primary before losing to Democrat John Fetterman in the general election.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has gone ahead with a 2.9% cut to Medicare physician reimbursements for 2025, setting up a lobbying fight when Congress gets back to Washington after the elections.

CMS published the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule final rule Friday, which retains the payment reduction the agency proposed in July. The American Medical Association and other physician societies are pleading with Congress to stop the cut from taking effect or blunt its impact— as it did for 2024 and prior years.
