Dear Representatives Ruiz, Bucshon, Bera and Miller-Meeks:
On behalf of the undersigned physician and non-physician organizations, representing more than one million clinicians and the patients they serve, thank you for introducing H.R. 2474, the Strengthening Medicare for Patients and Providers Act. The legislation applies a permanent inflation-based update to the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) conversion factor, which will provide much-needed stability to the Medicare payment system as our members contend with an increasingly challenging environment providing Medicare beneficiaries with access to timely and quality care.
