247 Members of Congress Oppose Proposed Medicare Payment Cuts

Oct 18, 2021, 09:50 AM by User Not Found

On Thursday October 14, 2021, 247 members of Congress submitted a letter to Congressional Leadership urging action to prevent the proposed significant cuts to the Physician Fee Schedule scheduled to take effect next year.  Over the past month, AAPM&R joined over 130 national organizations and many state organizations in pushing for a letter and a solution the payment issues, demonstrating broad support across the health care continuum.  AAPM&R reached out individually to Congressional offices we’ve met with during our most recent Hill Day to remind them of the importance of this issue and urge them to sign on.  With cuts still scheduled to take effect January 1, 2022, AAPM&R will be actively advocating on this issue for the remainder of the year.  We will continue to inform members via Connection and the Academy website.
