Act Now - Holding Providers Harmless from Medicare Cuts During COVID-19 Act
(H.R. 8702/S. 5007)
Dear AAEM Members,
There is a critically important bill for our specialty currently on the
floor for consideration. This bill which is described below in the AMA
update will prevent the currently scheduled dramatic Medicare schedule and
payment cuts that will dramatically reduce emergency physician's income
starting January 1, 2021. It certainly doesn't seem right to cut our pay now
in the context of the risk each and every emergency physician is exposing to
on a daily basis. This is a call to action to please call your
representative and senator and explain what you do and why this bill is so
important to you. Educate your family and friends and have them do the same.
If you belong to your state's medical association please call them and have
them assist in the lobbying as well.
Thanks for your efforts and what you do every day. Stay well and have a
great holiday season.
Sincerely,
Lisa A. Moreno, MD MS MSCR FAAEM FIFEM - President, AAEM
Kevin Beier, MD FAAEM - Co-Chair, Government and National Affairs Committee
