The letter expresses appreciation for Congress’ actions over last several years to mitigate scheduled cuts to the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS).
However, systemic issues such as the negative impact of MPFS budget neutrality requirements and the lack of an annual inflationary update will continue to generate significant instability for health-care clinicians moving forward, threatening beneficiary access to essential health-care services.
