Support Payment Reform: Take Action Now

Tuesday, July 18, 2023  



Please take just two minutes of your time and send a message to your U.S. House Representative letting them know that you want them to fix the flawed Medicare physician payment system — now.

Introduced by a bipartisan group of physician members of Congress, the Strengthening Medicare for Patients and Providers Act would provide annual inflationary updates for Medicare physician services. Did you know that physicians are the only providers whose Medicare payments do not automatically receive an annual inflationary update? As a result, Medicare physician payments have lagged 26% behind the rate of inflation growth since 2001.

ACT NOW. Let your rep know about your support for the bill before Thursday, July 27, 2023.
