Reps. Raul Ruiz (D-CA), Larry Bucshon (R-IN), Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA), and Ami Bera (D-CA) have introduced H.R. 2474, the Strengthening Medicare for Patients and Providers Act. This bipartisan legislation would set an annual Medicare PFS pay increase tied to the Medicare Economic Index (MEI). This would help address pay uncertainty by taking into consideration inflation increases and costs of producing services.
It is critical that members of the U.S. House of Representatives hear from therapy providers on why reforming the Medicare payment system is essential for provider stability and beneficiary access.
Please send an email now urging your Representative to support H.R. 2474 to ensure Medicare providers can continue to provide critical therapy services!
