Support implementation of the No Surprises Act (NSA) according to congressional intent. The NSA aimed to fix the problem of unanticipated medical bills and remove patients from the middle of out-of-network billing disputes. However, the Administration crafted rules that disregard congressional intent and insurers are not being held accountable under current policies. Support permanently delaying implementation of G2211 add-on code. This code was designed to give primary care additional compensation for complex visits but is duplicative of updates already made to the physician fee schedule. G2211 accounts for 90% of the cut physicians are facing in 2024 due to budget neutrality.

HR 977/S470: Patient Access to Higher Quality Health Act of 2023. Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) Sen.

Greg Murphy, MD (R-NC); Brad Wenstrup, DPM (R-OH); Michael Burgess, MD (RTX); Larry Bucshon, MD (R-IN); Danny Davis (D-IL); Jimmy Panetta (D-CA) Prevents the full 3.4% Medicare physician fee schedule cuts from being implemented on January 1, 2024. Support implementation of the No Surprises Act (NSA) according to congressional intent. The NSA aimed to fix the problem of unanticipated medical bills and remove patients from the middle of out-of-network billing disputes. However, the Administration crafted rules that disregard congressional intent and insurers are not being held accountable under current policies. Support permanently delaying implementation of G2211 add-on code. This code was designed to give primary care additional compensation for complex visits but is duplicative of updates already made to the physician fee schedule. G2211 accounts for 90% of the cut physicians are facing in 2024 due to budget neutrality.
