MGMA statement on the 2021 physician fee schedule final rule

Anders Gilberg
Senior Vice President, Government Affairs
Medical Group Management Association

"While MGMA is appreciative of streamlined documentation policies and payment increases to physicians that primarily deliver office/outpatient E/M services, the 10% decrease to the conversion factor and resulting reimbursement cuts to many specialties is deeply troubling during a time when COVID-19 cases are skyrocketing and practices are scrambling to stay financially viable. We are disappointed that CMS decided to not provide the stability that physician practices require to meet patient needs during this unprecedented public health emergency."
