- CAP and Coalition of Medical Groups Support Senate Effort to Stop Medicare Pay Cuts in 2023
The CAP and a coalition of medical professional organizations have asked Senators to sign a letter as a strong show of support to prevent 2023 Medicare cuts from going into effect. The November 1 letter urged Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and the Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to work on a bipartisan basis to address these imminent payment cuts.
Last month, the CAP and over 100 medical and health groups had already asked members of the House of Representatives to cosponsor the Supporting Medicare Providers Act of 2022 (HR 8800), which aims to lessen the upcoming Medicare reimbursement cuts in 2023 and provides guidance to improve the Medicare Payment system for physicians. To date, 72 members of the House have cosponsored the bill.
The CAP with its coalition partners will continue to advocate to get the Congress to enact legislation to mitigate the cuts prior to the end of the year.
