    Re: Extension of current moratorium on Medicare sequestration

    Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leaders McConnell, McCarthy, and Schumer:

    On behalf of our member medical group practices, the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) appreciates actions taken by Congress to support healthcare providers in their response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The crucial actions taken by Congress to date have enabled physician practices to remain financially solvent and allowed them to continue treating patients during this unprecedented time. However, with total reported cases surpassing 10 million in the U.S., this crisis is not yet behind us and still threatening the viability of the medical groups serving this nation’s patients. Therefore, we ask Congress to extend the current moratorium on the Medicare sequestration cuts, authorized under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act1, until the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency.
