Unless Congress takes action, U.S. physicians will receive a 2.8 percent cut to their Medicare payments starting Jan. 1, 2025. Now, a bipartisan group of House lawmakers, led by Reps. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, MD (R-IA), and Jimmy Panetta (D-CA), is asking their colleagues to co-sign the following letter urging congressional leaders to pass legislation stopping the pay cut and providing physicians with a payment update that reflects the actual cost of delivering care to patients. Lawmakers must hear from physicians by Sept. 27, 2024, about the impact the pay cut will have on their practices.
