MGMA has actively been participating in the healthcare reform situation. Currently, the House of Representative and Senate are hashing out the difference in each of their bills to develop one piece of legislation that will be voted on by both chambers.
MGMA has recently developed a Summary Chart of Healthcare Reform Provisions. This chart lays out the provisions in both the House and Senate bills that pertain to group practices and how those align with MGMA’s healthcare reform principles. The chart can be found at the following link.
MGMA recently send a letter to Senator Reid and Representative Pelosi that summarizes MGMA recommendations for changes to both the House and Senate-passed bills. The letter reinforced formal communications sent to Congress in the past and highlights the advocacy efforts of MGMA’s Washington staff. The letter can be viewed at the following link.
