MGMA statement on Congress' proposed Medicare physician payment fix

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

"We are deeply disappointed with Congress’ half-hearted attempt to remedy the devastating blow physician practices were dealt by the 2024 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. Anything less than a full reversal of the 3.4% cut is appallingly inadequate."
