Academy Joins Other Providers to Encourage Congress to Discuss Physician Fee Schedule Reforms

The Academy joined with 95 other organizations collectively representing over one million physician and non-physician health-care clinicians to request that the relevant congressional committees collaborate with the provider community to initiate formal proceedings (hearing, roundtables, expert panels, etc.) to discuss potential reforms to the Medicare physician payment system to ensure continued beneficiary access to care.

The letter expresses appreciation for Congress’ actions over last several years to mitigate scheduled cuts to the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS).

However, systemic issues such as the negative impact of MPFS budget neutrality requirements and the lack of an annual inflationary update will continue to generate significant instability for health-care clinicians moving forward, threatening beneficiary access to essential health-care services.
