On Oct. 30, several members of the House introduced H.R. 8702, the Holding Providers Harmless from Medicare Cuts During COVID-19 Act. This comprehensive bill, supplants H.R. 8505, has wide support in Congress and among Medicare providers. H.R. 8702, through what is known as a “hold harmless” approach, would ensure that payments to Medicare providers, including chiropractors, remain at current levels through 2022. ACA has been working with a coalition of more than 50 other groups to fight for a solution to the impending Medicare payment cuts, which will impact a wide swath of providers if allowed to take place on Jan. 1, 2021, and strongly supports H.R. 8702. Take a moment today to send a letter to your member of Congress and urge them to co-sponsor this critical legislation.
Note: Neither H.R. 8702 nor H.R. 8505 accomplishes what H.R. 3654 does, which is still ACA’s highest legislative priority.
