- This Is the Week of Action to Fight Medicare Cuts
This week, the CAP is asking its members to join in a Grassroots Week of Action to urge their federal legislators to extend the 3.75% relief provided in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 for the next two years.
At the end of 2020, the CAP successfully lobbied Congress to pass legislation mitigating the impact of the Medicare cuts from 9% to about 2% to 3% in 2021, saving pathologists nearly $85 million in lost revenue. The CAP is again asking Congress to extend the 3.75% relief it provided in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 for 2022 and 2023. The CAP urges its members to check out the CAP’s Twitter page at @CAPDCadvocacy every day at 12 PM ET to learn more and check emails from the CAP for how to act as a united voice.
With extraordinary pressures on pathologists due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the CAP is seeking an extension of the relief Congress passed last year. As such, the CAP and its members are urging Congress to appropriate an additional $3 billion to extend the current relief and provide sufficient time to develop a longer-term solution.
