This is not news to many AMGA members who have sought to address health inequities in their communities for decades.

Today AMGA called on Congress to act to reverse the potential cut to the Medicare conversion factor. Unless Congress acts this year, Medicare provider reimbursement rates will be cut by 2.8% on January 1, 2025. A new AMGA survey shows the very real impact on patient care the potential reduction will have. It also reveals that if the cuts go into effect, more medical groups will be forced to take action in 2025, and in some categories there’s a dramatic increase, such as in eliminating patient services.
