“The National Association of ACOs (NAACOS) commends Reps. Murphy, Panetta, Joyce, Ruiz, Miller-Meeks, Schrier, Tenney, Bera, Miller, and Krishnamoorthi for introducing the Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act. This critical legislation will stop harmful Medicare physician payment cuts that took effect this year, ensuring that physicians and other clinicians have the financial stability to deliver the care patients deserve.
“Without adequate reimbursement, providers face increasing challenges in innovating care and transitioning to value-based care. We urge Congress to act swiftly to reverse these cuts so that we can begin to work toward a sustainable, long-term physician payment reform that fosters high-value, patient-centered care for all Medicare beneficiaries.”
