ASTRO continues fight for a fix to MPFS cuts and other policy priorities in 2024

February 21, 2024

While Congress remains focused on passing FY2024 Appropriations legislation to avert a government shutdown, ASTRO continues to urge action to mitigate the conversion factor cuts that went into effect January 1 as part of the 2024 MPFS Final Rule.

Currently, ASTRO is rallying support for H.R. 6683, the Preserving Seniors’ Access to Physicians Act, which would eliminate the full 3.4% CF reduction. Unfortunately, as we get further into 2024, the prospects for passage of any “Doc Fix” legislation get progressively worse.

Our most effective tool for moving this legislation is our grassroots advocacy. To send a message to your representative urging their support of H.R. 6683, visit astro.org/advocate.
