ASRS Joins with Physicians Across Medicine to Call for Medicare Payment Increase
Last week, ASRS and dozens of other medical societies sent a letter to Congressional leaders recommending that provisions of the bipartisan Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act (H.R. 879) be included in government funding legislation currently being negotiated. The letter reiterates physician support for H.R. 879 that would increase the Medicare physician fee schedule conversion factor for the remainder of the year to end the current cut and increase payments 2% over 2024 levels. Congress must act on the funding bill by March 14 to prevent a government shutdown.
