Continue urging your senators to repeal the Medicare payment formula

The 21.2 percent cut to Medicare physician payments will now go into effect on March 1, unless Congress intervenes again. Through passage of H.R. 3961, the House of Representatives already repealed the flawed sustainable growth rate formula (SGR) and provided for a positive update for 2010. The Senate has not yet addressed the SGR.

Despite public statements by administration officials and members of the Democratic leadership reflecting a commitment to addressing this issue, MGMA strongly recommends that all MGMA members continue to access the MGMA Advocacy Center to remind their senators to address this issue immediately.
