- Urging the House Ways and Means Committee to support immediate passage of the bipartisan No Fees for EFTs Act HR 6487 that would prohibit payers from imposing fees on electronic funds transfers. - Urging Senate to seek legislation that provides a positive, stable, and predictable Medicare physician payment system. - Opposition to H.R. 1770/S. 2477, the Equitable Community Access to Pharmacist Services Act. This bill would inappropriately allow pharmacists to perform services that would otherwise be covered if they had been furnished by a physician, test and treat patients for certain illnesses and expand Medicare payment for pharmacists in limited but significant ways. - Congress should pass H.R. 6371 to achieve greater stability and predictability to the MPFS. - Congress should consider enacting S.3503/H.R. 5013, the Value in Health Care (VALUE) Act, bipartisan legislation that extends the original five percent APM incentive payments and freezes the 50 percent revenue threshold for an additional two years. - Support the Strengthening Medicare for Patients and Providers Act (HR 2474) which would be significant and needed progress toward a more viable Medicare payment system as it provides independent physician practices with greater financial stability and predictability.
