As legislative activity accelerates pertaining to the March 14th deadline to enact another federal government funding bill, your help is needed to stop the 2.83% physician payment cut that went into effect on January 1, 2025. Please contact your representative today to urge them to cosponsor H.R. 879, the Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act.

On January 31st, 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). This legislation seeks to prospectively, effective April 1 through December 31, 2025, stop, in full, the 2.83% cut physicians received on January 1, 2025. The legislation also provides physicians with an additional 2% payment increase to help reflect rising costs pertaining to running a practice.

Including H.R. 879 in the next spending package is the top priority! That's why it is so important that you contact your representative today and urge them to cosponsor "The Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act" (H.R. 879).
