Dear Administrator Brooks-LaSure,
On behalf of the nation’s medical group practices, I extend my warmest congratulations on your confirmation as Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Given your experiences serving as a senior CMS and Department of Health and Human Services official and as a professional staff member on the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee, we believe you share a common goal of empowering physician practices to deliver high-quality, cost-effective care. The Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) stands ready to work with you and your colleagues at CMS in crafting regulations that promote innovative, high quality, and efficient care delivery while reducing regulatory burden.
