Chief Healthcare Executive September 13, 2023
The American Hospital Association, the American Medical Association, and the Medical Group Management Association say the reductions would hurt providers.
Advocates representing hospitals, doctors and medical groups are urging the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to drop plans for cuts in reimbursements for physicians.
In separate letters to CMS Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure this week, the American Hospital Association, the American Medical Association and the Medical Groups Management Association said the reductions would hurt providers.
Given other costs practices and health systems have endured, the groups said the reduced Medicare payments would deliver more pain they can ill afford.
The CMS has proposed a 3.3% cut in the conversion factor, the formula used to determine Medicare’s physician payments, in 2024.
