ASE Joins Letter of Support for the Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act

On February 10, ASE with the Alliance of Specialty Medicine sent a letter to the bipartisan sponsors of Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act (H.R. 879) expressing support for legislation that would eliminate the 2.83% Medicare physician fee schedule cut and provide an inflationary update for calendar year 2025. The Alliance emphasized that year-over-year reductions in Medicare reimbursements have forced physician practices to limit Medicare patients, consolidate with larger hospital systems, or close permanently. The letter commends the sponsors for acknowledging that a permanent solution is necessary to address systemic issues with the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule.
