MGMA ADVOCATES FOR PERMANENT TELEHEALTH REFORM

The House Committee on Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health held a hearing on legislative proposals to support telehealth. Congress and the Administration extended many of the telehealth flexibilities in place during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency through 2024. MGMA submitted a statement for the record outlining our priorities for permanent telehealth reform. These recommendations included removing originating site and geographic restrictions, permanently covering audio-only services, and more.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO CONGRESS ON IMPROVING MEDICARE PAYMENT

MGMA sent a letter to the Senate Committee on Finance ahead of their hearing on bolstering Medicare payment for chronic care. The letter focuses on the importance of long-term, sustainable reform to the Medicare physician payment system by enacting an annual inflationary update and addressing budget neutrality. We also expressed support for the Chronic Care Management Act of 2023 and discussed making important changes to advanced alternative payment models.

OUR GOAL

To develop and equip our members to create dynamic, successful medical group practices.

OUR VISION

To be the recognized leader in defining and supporting the profession of medical practice management in Tennessee.
