SHM Joins Letter Demanding that House CR Address Medicare Physician Payment Cuts
March 10, 2025
The undersigned physician organizations urge Members of the House of Representatives to insist to their leadership that language addressing the 2025 Medicare physician payment cut be added to the full year CR before the House votes on the package.
Over 100 Members of the House of Representatives have cosponsored H.R. 879 – The Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act of 2025, which was introduced by Representative Greg Murphy, MD. This legislation would address the devastating payment cut that doctors faced on January 1st.
Last December, there was a bipartisan funding package that Congress was hours away from passing before it was scuttled. That package addressed the 2025 Medicare physician payment cut.
It is time for Members of the House of Representatives to take a stand to protect Medicare patient access by insisting language addressing the 2025 Medicare physician payment cut be added to the full year CR before the vote.
