Congress needs to enact legislation that will permanently repeal the flawed Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) formula before the March 31, 2015 deadline. Medicare Part B providers of all types, including doctors of chiropractic, will face devastating cuts to the payment rates if action is not taken. These payment cuts will also impact patients by threatening their ability to access the care that they need from the provider type of their choosing.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: Urge your federal representative and senators to continue working in a bipartisan manner to move toward a Medicare program that supports physicians for providing high quality, patient centered care as well as protects a senior’s choice of provider.
