AMGA Advocacy
AMGA is the voice for medical groups and integrated delivery systems on Capitol Hill. We promote our members’ interests in Congress and federal agencies in a variety of ways:
-
Advocate for priority issues affecting medical groups
-
Promote policymakers' and lawmakers' awareness of the advantages of practicing in a multispecialty medical group
-
Represent members' interests in related associations and coalitions
-
Inform and advise members regarding implementation of, and compliance with, enacted and proposed legislation and regulations.
In addition, we ensure policymakers and lawmakers are aware of medical groups' recognized excellence in delivering high-quality, cost-effective medical services to patients through coordinated care.
Through our efforts, members are assured that their interests are represented before many audiences, including Congress and federal agencies, in addition to other healthcare organizations and interest groups.
Recommendations for Improving MACRA
Recognizing the approaching 10-year anniversary of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA), AMGA established the MACRA and Value-Based Care Task Force, which offered recommendations to Congress.
Key Issues
AMGA advocates on Capitol Hill and with federal agencies on issues affecting member medical groups. Issues are determined by legislation and regulation that is currently being enacted.
