Legislation to Prevent Medicare Cuts Introduced in House

On Oct. 2, Reps. Michael Burgess, MD, (R-Texas) and Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) introduced legislation (H.R. 8505) to prevent Medicare physician payment cuts for 2021. The bill would waive Medicare’s budget neutrality requirements to avoid the cuts, allocating $10 billion from the Provider Relief Fund’s unobligated funds for this purpose. The AANS and the CNS issued a press release and joined 59 national medical associations in sending a letter thanking Reps. Burgess and Rush for introducing this bill.
