Grassroots efforts needed now to avert Medicare cuts
We are only days away from the 10.1 percent cut to Medicare Part B payments. Currently Senate and House leaders are negotiating a Medicare bill. The MGMA will announce details of this legislation in MGMA Washington Connexion as soon as they become available.
It is important to continue contacting members of Congress to remind them of the urgency of fixing these devastating cuts before they threaten access to patient care.
MGMA is once again partnering with the American Medical Association (AMA) to use its toll-free hotline to contact members of Congress. Call your representatives and senators by dialing the AMA hotline at 800.833.6354. You will be patched through to your senators and representatives via your ZIP code.
Tell your legislators that you want to register your concerns on the pending 10.1 percent physician payment cut.
Tell them:
Congress must take action to avert cuts before the end of the year; and
Two years of positive updates are needed to stabilize Medicare beneficiary access to care.
And write your senators and representatives.
