RE: Assessing and Updating Medicare Payment for Physicians’ Services in CY 2025
Dear Chairman Chernew,
The Alliance of Specialty Medicine (the “Alliance”) represents more than 100,000 specialty physicians from 16 specialty and subspecialty societies who are dedicated to the development of sound federal health care policy that fosters patient access to the highest quality specialty care. Today, we write to urge the Commission to recommend a positive Medicare base payment rate update for physician and other health professional services equal to the projected increase in the Medicare Economic Index (MEI) for calendar year (CY) 2025.
