MMA Urges Members to Reach Out to Congress to Stop Medicare Payment Cuts
December 8, 2022
The MMA sent out an Action Alert on December 6 urging its members to contact their members of Congress to stop a scheduled 4.5% across-the-board cut to physician Medicare payments.
"Allowing cuts of this magnitude to take effect would severely impede patient access to care,” the alert said. “Cuts of this size are unaffordable to many physician practices, particularly following the strains caused by the pandemic.”
The Medicare payment system currently provides no inflationary increases for physician practices. When adjusted for inflation, Medicare physician payments have dropped by 22% from 2001 to 2021.
