Medicare Advantage

Today, more than 33% of all Medicare beneficiaries have enrolled in Medicare Advantage (MA) plans, and our members care for a large number of these patients. These plans align with the medical group delivery model, resulting in improved care at a reduced cost. The payment structure utilized by MA incentivizes the team-based, multispecialty medical group approach, and allows providers to deliver the right care at the right time. AMGA has several recommendations as to how Congress can further improve the MA program including avoiding any future cuts to MA rates and promoting plan design innovation and flexibility.
