Congress Reintroduces APTA-Supported Legislation to Increase 2025 PFS Payment

Payment under the 2025 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule would increase for providers paid under the fee schedule, including physical therapists, under a bipartisan bill introduced Jan. 31 in the U.S. House of Representatives. The APTA-supported Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act of 2025 (H.R. 879) would fully eliminate the 2.8% fee schedule cut, and provide for an inflation adjustment starting April 1.
