We recently received an email from MGMA letting us know of some things that we could do to help prevent the devastating physician cute scheduled to come January 1st, 2012. Check out their tips here: Three things you can do to help avert the 29.5 percent Medicare payment cut MGMA needs your help to stop the 29.5 percent payment cut scheduled for Jan. 1. Here are three things you can do to keep the pressure on Congress to address this important issue. Take a brief survey on the impact the payment cut may have on your practice. Your response will enhance MGMA's advocacy efforts to get Congress to repeal this flawed payment system. Sign a petition and ask the physicians, patients and staff in your practice to do the same. MGMA and several physician specialties have launched a campaign,EveryPatientCounts.org, that calls on Congress to permanently fix the SGR. Tell your lawmaker. Urge the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction and Congress to repeal the SGR. Through these outlets you can express your support for a permanent solution to the SGR crisis. We need a coordinated and amplified voice from MGMA members! Visit our website to learn more at mgma.com/policy.
