ACP Advocates for Legislation to Stop 2023 Cuts to Medicare Physician Fee Schedule
Bipartisan legislation in Congress recognizes the need for a longer-term solution to promote and reward value-based payments.
Take action to urge Congress to pass legislation preventing year-end Medicare payment cuts to physicians and continuing incentives that support a value-based health care system. If passed, this bill will help provide relief from scheduled budget neutrality cuts in the Medicare physician fee schedule payments, end annual feels for payments, update fee schedule, and extend five percent participation incentive.
