AMGA comments on the proposed Medicare physician fee schedule for 2022.

AMGA sent a letter to Congress outlining critical issues to medical groups and health systems.

Key results from AMGA's 2021 Medical Group Compensation and Productivity Survey.

AMGA and 13 healthcare stakeholder groups endorse the Seniors’ Chronic Care Management Improvement Act of 2021, a bipartisan bill introduced by Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-WA) that seeks to remove patient cost-sharing requirements for chronic care management (CCM) services under Medicare.

AMGA supports its member organizations that are requiring COVID-19 vaccinations for their employees as they strive to protect their patients, healthcare personnel, and communities from the devastating effects of the disease.

The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology's (ONC) information blocking rule, while well-intended, is is causing some patients distress and confusion. AMGA has released a statement on that rule, as well as a set of recommendations for ONC to improve their information blocking requirements.

AMGA, along with 11 other national health stakeholder groups, endorsed a bipartisan bill that will accelerate Medicare’s move to value-based payment by boosting ACOs and other APMs. AMGA recommends Congress enact this bill as soon as possible.

AMGA disagrees with CMS's proposal to reduce the CY 2022 physician fee schedule conversion factor by 3.75%, the same amount that Congress temporarily increased Medicare payments to help offset the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.

AMGA applauds CMS' proposal to allow MSSP-enrolled ACOs to remain at their current level in the BASIC glide path for an additional performance year, but cautions against requiring those ACOs to skip a level the following year.

AMGA members have committed to take four actions between now and Independence Day to support President Biden’s goal of 70% of U.S. adults having received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine by July 4.
