APTQI Expresses Deep Concern About Payment Cuts to Specialty Services for CY2022 The recently released Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) Proposed Rule for CY2022 once again includes deep, across-the-board payment cuts to physical, occupational, and speech therapy despite bipartisan lawmaker and broad healthcare stakeholder opposition, The Alliance for Physical Therapy Quality and Innovation (APTQI) notes in a media release. These include a 3.5% cut to providers in CY2022, eventually adding up to a steep 9% payment cut by 2024. Since originally proposed and then implemented by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on January 1, 2021, the APTQI has warned that continued cuts to specialty Medicare services will undermine the ability of vulnerable seniors to access the vital therapy services they need to manage their post-operative care, pain, immobility, and risk of falling. ....
APTQI Urges Congress to Ensure Continued Patient Access to Specialty Care, Investment in MPFS The Alliance for Physical Therapy Quality and Innovation (APTQI), along with more than 60 organizations representing over one million physician and non-physician health care providers, call on Congress to enact provisions that will ensure continued Medicare beneficiary access to vital services and provide additional financial stability to the United States’ healthcare system.

Extending the sequester relief through the duration of the PHE is a commonsense solution that will provide stability to the physical therapy community and all Medicare providers who continue to struggle amid th ....
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. ....
