The recent Medicare Trustees report highlights that rising costs are outpacing physician payments, threatening long-term access to care for seniors. Medicare payments to physicians have been steadily declining relative to inflation, and this trend will persist unless Congress acts to fix the flawed and outdated payment rules.

ASDSA supports adequate Medicare reimbursement to protect patient access to specialty care and urges Congress to take action to safeguard patient access to care. Visit asds.net/medicare to learn more!

The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) is recommending a major overhaul of how Medicare updates physician payments. In a report to Congress, MedPAC proposed replacing the current 0.25% and 0.75% updates with a permanent, inflation-based formula tied to the Medicare Economic Index (MEI), such as MEI minus one percentage point.

ASDSA supports adequate Medicare reimbursement to protect patient access to specialty care and urges Congress to take action to heed MedPAC’s suggestion and move toward fair reimbursement. Visit asds.net/medicare to learn more!
