Ask Members of Congress to Co-Sponsor the Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act (H.R. 879/S. 1640)
Inaction by Congress at the end of 2024 led to another round of physician payment cuts, this time to the tune of 2.83% that went into effect on January 1, 2025, marking the fifth consecutive year that Medicare physician payment has been cut. 

Please contact your representative today to request they cosponsor the "Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act (H.R. 879/S. 1640)!

Over the past two decades, Medicare payment rates have fallen by 33%, when adjusted for the cost of running a practice, leaving physicians struggling to figure out how they can continue to provide needed care to their elderly and chronically ill patients.

Everyone, including Congress, agrees that the Medicare physician payment model is hopelessly broken, and these yearly cuts are having a negative impact on physician practices while leaving patients' access to care at risk. It's time they finally do something about it!

Reps. Greg Murphy, MD (R-NC) and Jimmy Panetta (D-CA), along with a bipartisan group of legislators, re-introduced the "Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act" (H.R. 879), and Sen. Roger Marshall, MD (R-KS) introduced companion legislation in the Senate (S. 1640). This legislation, if passed, would, prospectively cancel the 2.83% payment cut that went into effect on January 1, while also providing an inflationary update for 2025, helping to stabilize physician practices and protect patients' access to care.

Contact your representative today and urge them to cosponsor "The Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act" (H.R. 879/S. 1640)!
