MGMA statement on proposed Continuing Resolution

Anders Gilberg
Senior Vice President, Government Affairs
Medical Group Management Association

"On behalf of MGMA's 15,000 medical group practices, it is unacceptable that the Continuing Resolution released by House leadership over the weekend fails to include provisions to reverse the 2.83% cut to Medicare physician reimbursement, already in effect since Jan. 1. Congress must act swiftly to include the previously agreed-upon "doc-fix" provisions within H.R. 879, the Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act, in the upcoming government funding package ahead of any vote. Failure to do so would mean another year of unkept promises to physicians, signaling little regard for medical practices or our nation's seniors.”
