Thank you, @RepGusBilirakis, for leading the bipartisan Promoting Fairness for Medicare Providers Act (H.R. 7863). Aligning Medicare payment rates across care settings helps keep patients with their trusted physicians and helps independent practices stay open. #OBFA
SCAI retweeted
Thank you, @RepRaulRuizMD, for championing H.R. 7863 and working to maintain patient access to independent physicians in rural and underserved areas. Seniors shouldn't have to drive an hour for care that could safely be delivered close to home. #OBFA
SCAI retweeted
Thank you, @RepJoyceMD, for recognizing the importance of H.R. 7863 in today's hearing. We agree, H.R. 7863 can be part of overall Medicare Physician Fee Schedule structural reform. #OBFA
