We need your immediate support to help secure a critical increase in Medicare reimbursement rates for 2025. Your action today could make a significant difference in ensuring that medical professionals receive fair compensation for their work while preserving patient access to essential healthcare services.
What’s Happening?
As you may be aware, the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Final Rule for 2025 has introduced a -2.83% cut to the conversion factor, effective January 1, 2025. This reduction in Medicare payments is deeply concerning, as it places additional financial strain on healthcare providers who are already grappling with rising inflation, increased operational expenses, and growing levels of burnout.
Healthcare professionals rely on physical therapy scheduling software to streamline operations and maintain efficiency. However, with reduced reimbursements, investing in these essential tools becomes even more challenging.
Why This Matters
These Medicare payment cuts affect all members of the medical community, making it even more difficult to sustain high-quality patient care—particularly in rural and underserved communities. At a time when healthcare professionals are working tirelessly to provide essential services, further financial reductions could lead to:
- Decreased access to care for patients.
- Increased stress and burnout for healthcare providers.
- Financial instability for medical practices.
- Reduced ability to invest in necessary resources. Such as physical therapy EMR software and patient scheduling software.
A Solution is on the Table – But We Need Your Help!
To address this critical issue, Representatives Greg Murphy, M.D., and Carol Miller have introduced the bipartisan Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act of 2025 (H.R.879), co-sponsored by eight additional members of Congress.
This crucial legislation proposes a 6.62% payment update, effectively negating the scheduled 2.83% cut while providing an inflationary adjustment for the remainder of 2025. If passed, the bill would take effect on April 1, 2025, ensuring that physicians and healthcare providers receive fair compensation and can continue delivering high-quality care to their patients.
With proper funding, clinics and healthcare facilities can continue utilizing best physical therapy software, therapy documentation software, and web-based practice management software, ensuring smoother operations and better patient outcomes.
