Action Needed: Ensure Congress Prevents the Full Cut to Medicare in 2023
All ASRS members are urged to contact their members of Congress this week—even if you have already—to make sure legislators know they must prevent all cuts to Medicare physician payment in 2023. Click here to send an instant, pre-written message to your Representative and Senators.
Some members of Congress have recently expressed support for only preventing some of the expected reduction—perhaps just 2-3%, instead of preventing the full 4.42% conversion factor cut. ASRS and the medical community view any cut, no matter the magnitude, as unacceptable and are calling on all physicians and practice administrators to act now.
ASRS this week also signed on to a letter with more than 100 other medical groups to Congress urging them to ensure that the full cut is addressed.
If you have questions, or need assistance, please contact Allison Madson, vice president of health policy, at allison.madson@asrs.org.
