MGMA statement on latest APM data
Anders Gilberg
Senior Vice President, Government Affairs
Medical Group Management Association

“With physician practices facing annual Medicare payment cuts, they continue to look for alternative payment models (APMs) that support their efforts to deliver high-quality cost-effective care. Unfortunately, the majority of medical groups do not have a clinically relevant option and find themselves stuck in fee-for-service. Congress empowered a physician advisory group (PTAC) to vet and advance physician led alternative APMs, but to date CMS has failed to implement any of its recommendations. As it examines new approaches to payment and quality, CMS must trust physicians to lead these efforts and recognize the best ideas for value-based care won’t come from a top-down government approach.”
