MGMA Statement on House Passed Funding Package (February 3, 2026)

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

"MGMA is pleased to see Congress pass critical healthcare extenders along with other policies to protect the financial sustainability of medical groups and ensure continued access for Medicare beneficiaries. The extension of the 1.0 work RVU GPCI floor through the end of 2026 and of the telehealth flexibilities through the end of 2027, along with the reinstatement of the Advanced APM incentive payment for 2026 and delay of clinical laboratory cuts until 2027, all provide much-needed financial and operational relief to practices nationwide. These intermediate-term solutions will provide a degree of stability that practices have not enjoyed for over a year. We look forward to working with Congress to develop permanent solutions to these policies and ensure long-term stability for practices."
