- Urge Congress to Fix Medicare Now
Pathologists will be calling on lawmakers to enact the Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act and reverse the Medicare cuts that went into effect on January 1.
The CAP strongly opposes the ongoing Medicare cuts to physician reimbursement and is actively working with lawmakers and partners to enact short- and long-term payment reforms. The CAP recently signed on to the American Medical Associations (AMA) letter urging Congress to include provisions that both reverse the latest round of Medicare payment cuts and provide physicians with a meaningful payment increase by a government funding deadline March 14.
The CAP is also using its grassroots network in support of this week's AMA National Advocacy Conference in Washington, DC. CAP members will receive an action alert on Wednesday, February 12, to message their congressional representatives to stop the cuts.
