American College of Rheumatology Applauds Introduction of Bipartisan Provider Reimbursement Stability Act | American College of Rheumatology

Summary: The American College of Rheumatology is cheering for a new bipartisan bill in Congress called the Provider Reimbursement Stability Act. Over the past 20 years, Medicare payments to doctors have dropped by 33%, even though the cost of running a clinic keeps rising. This makes it hard for doctors to keep their doors open. The new bill helps fix the math by limiting yearly payment cuts and updating clinic costs. Most importantly, it ensures older Americans with arthritis can still easily see their doctors and get the care they need!
