      MGMA Government Affairs

      MGMA supports modernizing the Physician Self-referral (Stark) Law to better align with value-based payment reform. Overall, we encourage Congress to comprehensively reform the Stark Law to significantly simplify it and enable medical group practices to provide patient services at the point of care and within the group practice setting.
