MGMA statement on Congress' failure to avert Medicare cuts
Anders Gilberg
Senior Vice President, Government Affairs
Medical Group Management Association
"MGMA is deeply disappointed in Congress’s unwillingness to support physician practices despite battling challenges associated with an ongoing pandemic. For months, physician practices have warned Congress about these devastating Medicare cuts slated for Jan. 1, 2022. Yet, Congress is allowing a 10 percent cut to Medicare to go into effect in less than one month. We urge congressional leadership to heed our call and prevent these cuts, which will have a significant impact on medical groups and the millions of Medicare patients they treat.”
