As Medicare physician reimbursement continues in 2025 to suffer from damaging shortfalls due to budget neutrality and lack of an inflation adjuster, steps are being taken in Congress to address the issue. On January 31, the bipartisan Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act (H.R. 879) was introduced in the House of Representatives by Representatives Greg Murphy, MD (R-NC), Jimmy Panetta (D-CA), Mariannette Miller-Meeks, MD (R-IA), and Kim Schrier, MD (D-WA), and as of early March had 103 cosponsors, with more signing on every week. H.R. 879 adds an additional 6.62% to the Medicare conversion factor (CF) between April 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025.
