Standing Strong for Physicians & Healthcare
As we close Q2, ZPAC remains committed to advocating for policies that protect physicians and the business of healthcare. Our focus continues to be on securing a long-overdue Doc Fix to address the -2.83% Medicare cut, which took effect on January 1. The House reconciliation package included a permanent shift in Medicare physician payment policy – tying updates to 75% of the Medicare Economic Index (MEI) in 2026 and 10% thereafter. However, the Senate removed these provisions, leaving the current cut in place and offering no payment updates.
We are continuing to push for a Doc Fix — either through inclusion in the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1) or via passage of the Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act of 2025 (H.R. 879/S. 339):
