Inflation is driving physician practice costs to unsustainable levels & a looming 4.5% payment cut further threatens the viability of practices and physicians' ability to care for patients. Congress must pass legislation to #stopthefullcut before the end of the year.

Medicare physician payment is failing to keep pace with rising practice expenses & inflation. On top of that, the fee schedule includes 4.5% across-the-board reduction. This is unsustainable for physician practices! Congress must pass legislation to #stopthefullcut before Jan 1.
