This proposed Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act of 2025 seeks to increase payments to physicians and other practitioners by 6.62 percent for services provided between April 1, 2025 and January 1, 2026. This payment increase aims to support healthcare providers in adjusting to changes in Medicare reimbursement rates. The bill is a necessary step to ensure continued access to quality medical care for Medicare beneficiaries by providing financial stability for practitioners during the transition period. Passing this legislation is crucial to preventing potential disruptions in patient care and protecting the financial viability of medical practices serving the Medicare population. The proposed payment increase will help offset challenges providers face in adapting to evolving Medicare policies and fee schedules. Enacting this measure will safeguard Medicare patients' access to their trusted healthcare providers.
