Statement on Senate Reconciliation Provisions Impacting Physician Group Practices

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

"Legislative language emerging from the Senate abandons America's physician practices by ignoring current and future cuts to Medicare reimbursement. It largely retains problematic student loan provisions from the House bill, which will exacerbate physician workforce shortages. The Senate's proposed additional Medicaid cuts will result in skyrocketing uncompensated care, compounding financial problems for physicians treating patients in underserved areas and hospitals subject to EMTALA. In its current form, the bill offers little or nothing positive for medical practices and their patients.”
