As physicians face another year of cuts stemming from the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, 41 Senators cosign a letter urging the Senate to address cuts before end of year.
The letter to Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is an urgent request to address the 2.8 percent cut to Medicare payments that is due to go into effect on January 1, 2025. I outlines persistent instability in the health care sector due, in part, to consistent payment cuts. It also stresses the cuts impact on the ability of independent clinical practices, especially in rural and underserved areas.
North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis is one of the 41 senators who signed the letter.
