January 12, 2022	Understanding the Latest Payment Cuts and What You Can Do About It Fred Horton M.H.A., President, AMGA Consulting and Kelsi O'Brien, M.H.S.A, Director, AMGA Consulting On Friday, December 10, 2021, the President signed into law: S. 610, the “Protecting Medicare and American Farmers from Sequester Cuts Act,” which delays the 2% Medicare sequestration cut until March 31, 2022, and provides a 1% reduction in the Medicare sequester cut from April 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022, in addition to other changes to Medicare payments.

Our team will explore specific financial models and various calculations using real data from AMGA Consulting, and present key areas of focus that can be potential “pitfalls” if not addressed appropriately, as well as strategic approaches towards overall financial resiliency that can have a positive long-lasting impact.
