The American Physical Therapy Association supports H.R. 879, the Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act of 2025. The bipartisan legislation was introduced in the U.S. House by Reps. Greg Muphy, MD, R-N.C., and Jimmy Panetta, D-Calif. H.R. 879 would eliminate the 2.8% Medicare payment cut to dozens of health disciplines paid under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, which took effect on Jan. 1, 2025, and provide an inflationary update for the remainder of 2025.
