Lawmakers are considering increasing doctors’ Medicare pay to offset a 3.4% Medicare pay cut that went into effect on Jan 1. The cut resulted from the expiration of pandemic-era bonuses lawmakers chose to give the industry. The pay increase was discussed in negotiations over a stopgap funding bill earlier this year, but a fix hasn’t completely fallen off the agenda. Physicians’ groups have been pressing Congress to undo the cuts, and the upcoming government funding package may address this issue partially.
