Co-sponsor H.R. 10073 to Stabilize Medicare Reimbursement and Protect Patient Access to Care

On January 1st, physician reimbursement will be cut by 2.8% under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. To avoid another year of devastating cuts, Congress must pass the Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act, H.R. 10073, as part of the final year-end package.

Thankfully, Reps. Greg Murphy, MD (R-NC) and Jimmy Panetta (D-CA) introduced H.R. 10073 - bipartisan legislation, that if passed, would eliminate the looming 2.8% payment cut to physician reimbursement proposed by the Centers of Medicare & Medicaid Services, and provide a 1.8% payment update in 2025, an actual payment increase equal to one half the Medicare Economic Index, helping to stabilize physician practices and preserve patient access to care.

HRS has already endorsed H.R. 10073, now we need your help. Time is running out and there are few legislative days left before the end of the year with Congress expected to conduct a "lame duck" session after the elections. This will be the last opportunity for Congress to pass H.R. 10073 as part of the final year-end package. That’s why it is so important that you contact your Representative and urge them to co-sponsor the Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act (H.R. 10073) today!
