- Take Action to Stop 2025 Medicare Cuts!
Pathologists are projected to receive a 2.4% cut in pathology payments in 2025. In response to ongoing yearly cuts, Reps. Miller-Meeks (R-IA), Panetta (D-CA), Murphy (R-NC), Ruiz (D-CA), Bucshon (R-IN), Schrier (D-WA), Joyce (R-PA), and Bera (D-CA) released a letter to House congressional leadership urging them to pass legislation to replace the impending Medicare payment cuts with an inflationary payment update, make targeted adjustments to the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule’s budget neutrality requirements, and limit yearly changes to the conversion factor.
CAP members must act! Contact your representative by October 11 and urge them to sign on to this letter to House leadership.
It is imperative that pathologists ask their representatives to sign the letter to House leadership. With the proposed cut for 2025, over the last six years, payments to pathologists have decreased by approximately 7% while physician practice costs (medical supplies, lab personnel, professional liability insurance) have increased over 17%. With inflation, in 2025 alone, pathologists are anticipated to experience a net 6% reduction in revenues as Medicare reimbursement is expected to fall by close to 2.4% while expenses are expected to increase by 3.6%.
