Support the Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act (H.R. 10073): Protect PT and Healthcare Services
The Medicare Physician Fee Schedule has faced ongoing cuts without an inflationary adjustment, which threatens access to high-quality physical therapy and healthcare services. Medicare payments have not kept up with the increasing costs of running a practice, and this has only been worsened by inflation and the challenges of the pandemic.
We need your help to support the Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act of 2024 (H.R. 10073), a bipartisan bill that will reverse the planned 2.8% cut and increase Medicare payments by 1.9% in 2025. This legislation will help ensure providers are compensated fairly for the value we deliver to our patients.
