@acpimphysicians.bsky.social is asking members to urge the new Congress to pass legislation that addresses Medicare physician payment cuts, extends #telehealth flexibilities long-term, and reforms the prior authorization process. www.votervoice.net/ACPONLINE/Ca...

The CR is far from perfect, but it does contain a number of things good for IM physicians, including:

- 2.5% payment increase for Medicare PFS - this does NOT cover the full 2.83% cut, but helps
- 3.53% bonus for APMs
- 2-year ext of telehealth flexibilities
- PBM reform

Members should vote YES!

Great meeting today in @acpimphysicians.bsky.social DC office with @herbconaway, an internal medicine physician and Congressman-elect (NJ-03)! We look forward to working with you in the 119th Congress!

It is critical that Congress act by the end of this year to pass prior authorization reform! #patientsbeforepaperwork

Health care costs could spike for millions of families America’s fragmented safety net makes it easy for cuts to go unnoticed.

Millions of people will notice if the premium tax credits are not extended or made permanent! It is critical that Congress take action here. www.vox.com/policy/38742...
