Jiro Health ran CMS's proposed same-day formula, pay the top-valued service in full and cut each other service by 50%, across claims from October 2024 through September 2025 (analysis: https://lifestyle.baretnews.com/story/361523/private-practices-would-bear-80-of-the-nearly-1b-impact-of-cmss-modifier-25-proposal/).
