American Medical Association (AMA) leaders lauded the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) this month for backing increased physician payment rates for 2025.

AMA President Jesse Ehrenfeld praised MedPAC, a nonpartisan independent legislative agency that advises Congress on the Medicare program, for endorsing a draft recommendation that urges lawmakers to increase physician payment rates to reflect inflation. He cast the move as “a critical first step toward the necessary work of reforming the broken Medicare payment system.”
“Long-term reforms from Congress are overdue to close the unsustainable gap between what Medicare pays physicians and the actual costs of delivering high-quality care. When adjusted for inflation in practice costs, Medicare physician pay declined 26% from 2001 to 2023,” he said in a statement.
