- AMA to Host Advocacy Insights webinar, ‘What’s next with Medicare payment reform,’ on Nov. 3
Payment cuts and temporary fixes have become predictable in Medicare physician payment over the past decade—leaving physician practices and patient access to care at serious risk. The American Medical Association (AMA) is working to change that by urging lawmakers to work with the physician community to permanently reform the system. Congress needs to establish a permanent, annual inflationary Medicare physician payment update that keeps up with the cost of practicing medicine and encourages practice innovation.
The webinar topics include:
- Where Medicare payment reform stands now
- How the AMA, alongside state and national medical specialty societies, is pushing for permanent payment reform
- How you can get involved in these advocacy efforts
Moderator:
- Willie Underwood III, MD, MSc, MPH, Chair, AMA Board of Trustees
Speakers:
- G. Ray Callas, MD, President Elect, Texas Medical Association
- Katie Orrico, Senior Vice President, Health Policy and Advocacy, American Association of Neurological Surgeons/Congress of Neurological Surgeons
Todd Askew, Senior Vice President, Advocacy, American Medical Association
