Support of Congressional Relief for Medicare Clinical Labor Cuts Increases | SCAI

Representatives Bobby Rush (D-IL) and Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) have organized a “Dear Colleague” letter to House leadership regarding the viability of office-based specialists given the recent changes to the Physician Fee Schedule.

The letter contains the signatures of over 60 bipartisan Members of Congress and expresses appreciation for the temporary relief from most of the 3.75 percent cut to the conversion factor which was scheduled to take place on January 1, 2022.

However, it also expresses disappointment that extensive cuts for office-based specialists under the 2022 Physician Fee Schedule were left unaddressed.

Read the letter and ask your Member of Congress to support relief from the “clinical labor” cuts—cuts that will reduce reimbursement by more than 20 percent for some specialties.
