Dear Chairman Neal and Ranking Member Brady,

On behalf of our member medical group practices, healthcare executives, and other healthcare leaders, the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) thanks you for drafting balanced legislation to end out-of-network billing or “surprise” medical bills. MGMA supports the “Consumer Protections Against Surprise Medical Bills Act of 2020” and agrees with the Committee that mediation without a qualifying threshold is a fair and equitable approach for all parties, and most importantly, a solution that protects the patient.
