New Legislation Seeks to Restore Medicare Physician Payments

A bipartisan group of Representatives has introduced the Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act, a crucial bill that ASBrS strongly supports. This legislation aims to reverse the 2.8% Medicare physician payment cut that took effect on January 1 and implement a 2.0% inflationary adjustment for the remainder of 2025.

By addressing these payment reductions, the bill would provide much-needed financial relief to surgeons and help preserve access to care for vulnerable Medicare beneficiaries. While not a permanent solution, this measure is an important step toward stabilizing private practices facing increasing financial strain.

The Society encourages all members to contact your legislators and urge them to support this bill.
