Washington, DC—The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) President James B. Hermiller, MD, MSCAI, released the following statement on the CY 2025 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Proposed Rule: 

“SCAI is deeply disappointed by another year of proposed cuts to physician payments in next year’s Physician Fee Schedule (PFS). The declining payment rates under the PFS have harmed patients and physicians, and undermine Medicare’s ability to guarantee access to affordable health care for America’s seniors. Congress should heed the warnings of physician groups, MedPAC, and other stakeholders and act quickly to prevent further cuts to physician pay next year. SCAI also urges Congress to work on long-term reform that ensures a fair and sustainable payment rate that reflects the increased costs physicians incur while operating a practice.”
