<p>Medicare patients depend on access to doctors, therapists, and other healthcare providers for essential care. However, continued cuts to Medicare payments threaten providers’ ability to stay in practice, which could mean fewer options for care, longer wait times, and reduced services. This bill helps stabilize Medicare payments, ensuring that providers can continue offering quality care and that patients can receive the services they need without disruption.&nbsp;</p>


Please Support the Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act - HR 879

To the Honorable Members of the Energy and Commerce Committee,

We, the undersigned, urge you to support the Medicare Patient Access and Provider Stabilization Act, HR 879, to ensure continued access to high-quality healthcare for Medicare beneficiaries and stability for the providers who serve them.

Medicare patients across the nation rely on a stable and accessible healthcare system to receive essential services, including physical therapy, primary care, and specialty care. However, continued cuts to Medicare reimbursement rates threaten the ability of providers to sustain their practices, jeopardizing patient care and access.

This critical legislation aims to:

Stabilize Medicare reimbursement rates to prevent further cuts that could force providers to reduce services or close their practices.

Ensure continued access to care for millions of seniors and individuals with disabilities who depend on Medicare.

Support healthcare providers by allowing them to focus on patient care rather than struggling with unsustainable financial constraints.

Protect small and independent practices that play a vital role in communities across the country, ensuring patients continue to receive personalized and effective care.

Provide an inflationary bump that providers have not been receiving, helping to counteract rising costs and ensure sustainable practice operations.

We believe that Congress must act now to protect the Medicare program and the patients who rely on it. By supporting the Medicare Patient Access and Provider Stabilization Act, you will help safeguard the future of healthcare for millions of Americans.

We respectfully urge you to stand with patients and providers by voting in favor of this important legislation.
