Worried About Deep Medicare Cuts for Specialty Providers? This Group is Taking a Stand
The Alliance for Physical Therapy Quality and Innovation (APTQI), along with a coalition of organizations representing a broad range of more than one million healthcare providers, call on House and Senate lawmakers to address the critical deficiencies in the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) and halt deep payment cuts to providers across the healthcare delivery system.
In a letter submitted to Members of the 117
th Congress on February 22, the groups urged lawmakers to continue working to address severe Medicare cuts for specialty providers and address the budget neutrality requirement in the MPFS that threatens to impose arbitrary reductions to provider reimbursement unrelated to the cost of providing care.
