Re: MGMA legislative recommendations to support medical groups in 2024
Dear Speaker Johnson, Majority Leader Schumer, Minority Leader Jeffries, and Minority Leader McConnell:
On behalf of our member medical group practices, the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) thanks you for your leadership in supporting medical group practices’ ability to provide high-quality, cost-effective care.We write to emphasize the urgent need for Congress to take action to avert the pending 2024 Medicare reimbursement cut as soon as possible to avoid dire consequences to this nation’s healthcare system, and enact additional legislation to bolster medical group practices’ ability to provide high-quality care.
With a membership of more than 60,000 medical practice administrators, executives, and leaders, MGMA represents more than 15,000 group medical practices ranging from small private medical practices to large national health systems, representing more than 350,000 physicians. MGMA’s diverse membership uniquely situates us to offer the following legislative recommendations.
