Please urge Congress to support H.R. 2474 by clicking on the link below. It’s very easy and takes less than a minute.
This bill would increase our reimbursement by updating the PFS to reflect the Medicare Economic Index. MEI is a measure of inflation that physicians face through changes in practice expenses and wages. The costs of running a practice have increased 47% and, when adjusted for inflation, Medicare physician payments have decreased by over 20% since 2001. This drastic decrease in reimbursement paired with rising practice costs, record inflation and health care workforce shortages has led to an unsustainable system that limits patients’ access to the care they need. MEI-baselined annual updates are an important step forward in reducing financial uncertainty for practices and improving the delivery of care across the US, particularly for patients in America’s rural, senior and underserved populations.
Please urge your member of Congress to take a step towards improving patient access to care and creating a stable Medicare payment system by cosponsoring H.R. 2474, the Strengthening Medicare for Patients and Providers Act today.
