Medicare Cuts Impacting Providers

The looming 2.8 percent cut to Medicare reimbursements scheduled for 2025 is creating a pressing need for intervention. This will mark the fourth consecutive year of reductions that have severely impacted medical providers. Since 2001, payments to providers have diminished by 29 percent, raising concerns about the sustainability of care services.

Consequences of Continued Cuts

  • Increased difficulty in maintaining quality care
  • Potential for closures in small healthcare practices
  • Limited access to services for Medicare beneficiaries

Call to Action

Maine’s D.C. contingent needs to prioritize discussions and initiatives to counteract these cuts and ensure that Medicare remains a viable option for all citizens.
