The Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act of 2025 aims to reverse the cut and implement a 2% inflationary update, according to a Jan. 31 news release from the ACC.

Cardiology practices across the U.S. have been hit hard by the cut, which has compounded financial pressures from inflation and rising practice expenses, said Cathleen Biga, MSN, president of the ACC.

The cut to the physician fee schedule took effect Jan. 1, the release said.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
