Re: Extend Medicare Advanced Alternative Payment Model (APM) Incentive Payments
Dear Speaker Pelosi, Leader McCarthy, Leader Schumer, and Leader McConnell:
On behalf of the over 800 undersigned physician and health care associations, health systems, provider practices, and accountable care organizations (ACOs), thank you for your leadership to ensure physicians and other clinicians have adequate resources to care for the health of the U.S. population. As Congress considers priority end-of-year legislation, we ask that you bolster and advance the ongoing transition to value-based health care by extending Medicare’s 5 percent Advanced Alternative Payment Model (APM) incentive payments authorized under the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA).
