Dear Administrator Brooks-LaSure:
On behalf of our member medical group practices, the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) thanks you for the opportunity to comment on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS’) Advance Notice of Methodological Changes for Calendar Year (CY) 2024 for Medicare Advantage (MA) Capitation Rates and Part C and Part D Payment Policies (“2024 Advance Notice”).
With a membership of more than 60,000 medical practice administrators, executives, and leaders, MGMA represents more than 15,000 medical groups in which more than 350,000 physicians practice. These groups range from small private practices in rural areas to large regional and national health systems and cover the full spectrum of physician specialties and organizational forms, making MGMA well-positioned to offer the following feedback.
