Re: Critical Healthcare Policies Need Extension Prior to September 30
Dear Speaker Johnson, Majority Leader Thune, Minority Leader Jeffries, and Minority Leader Schumer:
On behalf of our member medical group practices, the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) thanks you for your leadership in supporting medical group practices’ ability to provide high-quality, cost-effective care. With the September 30th deadline to continue funding the federal government rapidly approaching, we write to you to underscore the need to extend critical healthcare policies that are scheduled to expire. The Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 (H.R. 1968) extended important policies to medical group operations, such as the 1.0 work Geographic Practice Cost Index (GPCI) floor and telehealth flexibilities until September 30, 2025; we urge Congress to swiftly act to further extend these policies and more to promote Medicare patient access to care.
