Re: MGMA concerns over Medicare cuts that threaten patient access to care

Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leaders Schumer, McConnell, and McCarthy:

On behalf of our member medical group practices, the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) writes to encourage you to address significant cuts to Medicare by the end of this year. These cuts will have a devastating impact on physician practices and the millions of Medicare beneficiaries they treat.

With a membership of more than 60,000 medical practice administrators, executives, and leaders, MGMA represents more than 15,000 medical groups in which more than 350,000 physicians practice. These groups range from small private practices in rural areas to large regional and national health systems and cover the full spectrum of physician specialties and organizational forms. Our diverse membership uniquely situates MGMA to offer its expertise on how these cuts threaten the group practice model and the patients they treat.
