AAHKS Supports Bipartisan Physician Payment Reform Bill

Last week Congressman Greg Murphy, MD introduced the bipartisan Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act, to support physicians and protect access to care for Medicare beneficiaries. AAHKS joined 130 other health care organizations in supporting introduction of the bill, which would eliminate the 2.8% conversion factor cut and provide a 50% MEI (inflationary) update for 2025. As Congressman Murphy stated, “this bipartisan legislation would stop yet another year of reimbursement cuts, give them a slight inflationary adjustment, and protect Medicare for physicians and patients alike.” You can read the full press release here and watch for an AAHKS Action Alert so you can write your Congressional Representative in support of the bill.
