Neurosurgeons Call for Urgent Action on Bipartisan Medicare Payment Fix
Washington, DC—Today, the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) and Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) commend members of the U.S. House of Representatives for introducing the Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act of 2025, critical legislation aimed at halting Medicare payment cuts for physician payments in 2025. This legislation would prospectively, effective April 1 through December 31, 2025, stop, in full, the 2.83% cut physicians received on January 1, 2025. The legislation also provides physicians with an additional 2% payment increase to help reflect rising costs pertaining to running a practice.
This bipartisan effort, led by U.S. Representatives Greg Murphy, MD, (R-N.C.), Jimmy Panetta (D-Calif.), Mariannette Miller-Meeks, MD, (R-Iowa), Kim Schrier, MD, (D-Wash.), John Joyce, MD, (R-Pa.), Raul Ruiz, MD, (D-Calif.), Carol Miller (R-W.Va.), Ami Bera, MD, (D-Calif.), Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.), and Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) was introduced today.
