Dear Leader Thune, Leader Schumer, Speaker Johnson and Leader Jeffries,
On behalf of the undersigned organizations, we urge Congress to halt a portion of the recently finalized rule published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on October 31st. The CY 2026 Physician Fee Schedule final rule (CMS-1832-F) contained a provision significantly cutting the practice expense portion of physician payments for services provided in the facility setting. Congress must act immediately to stop this arbitrary cut to facility-based practice expense prior to its implementation on January 1, 2026.
