Zotec Partners is more dedicated than ever to protecting the business of healthcare with ZPAC advocacy. To date, we have had over 6,800 advocates send over 40,000 emails to lawmakers on legislative issues that impact our clients nationwide. Our top priorities and legislative issues for 2024 are detailed below, including Medicare and Medicaid cuts, fallout from the No Surprises Act, and the ongoing physician shortage. Learn more about ZPAC’s advocacy in this article.
For the first time in years, there was no year-end legislation in Congress to address the drastic 3.4% cut to the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. At the time of publication, there still has not been a solution for these cuts. In February 2024, we created a call to action, demanding that Congress act to reverse the 3.4% cut, and in one week, approximately 3,000 messages were sent to lawmakers all over the country. For more information, check out a recent Zotec Answers podcast episode.
Our team works diligently to create clear communications regarding every change, update, and ruling that has taken and we are here to guide physicians through the entire implementation process. For more information, check out a recent Zotec Answers podcast episode.
There is an ongoing physician shortage projected to reach about 48,000 primary care physicians and 77,100 non-primary care physicians by 2034. To learn more about all the challenges facing physicians, check out this article.
Our focus is on leveraging our professional connections with lawmakers, policymakers, and regulators for the benefit of our clients. We recently collaborated with our Provider Enrollment team to address issues with multi-factor authentication, removing roadblocks and getting physicians credentialed efficiently.
