RE: Recommendations to promote value-based patient care in Medicare

Dear Chairman Wyden, Chairwoman McMorris Rodgers, Chairman Smith, Ranking Member Crapo, Ranking Member Pallone, and Ranking Member Neal:

On behalf of the undersigned organizations, thank you for your support and leadership to retain incentives for physicians and other clinicians to adopt value-based care. Including a 12-month extension of the advanced alternative payment model (APM) incentive payment in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 ensures that the nearly 300,000 clinicians working to improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of care for millions of Medicare beneficiaries through these models have the resources to innovate care. As you consider your priorities for the 118th Congress, we ask that you continue to advance the transition to value-based health care.
