RE: Bolstering Chronic Care through Physician Payment: Current Challenges and Policy Options in Medicare Part B
Dear Chairman Wyden, Ranking Member Crapo, and members of the Senate Committee on Finance:
The Alliance of Specialty Medicine (the “Alliance”) represents more than 100,000 specialty physicians and surgeons across 16 specialty and subspecialty societies, and is deeply committed to improving access to specialty medical care through the advancement of sound health care policy. As patient and physician advocates, the undersigned organizations appreciate the Senate Finance Committee’s efforts to modernize clinician payment and improve chronic care in Medicare fee-for-service (FFS). Today, we outline suggested actions that Congress should take to stabilize the Medicare physician payment system while ensuring successful value-based care incentives are available for specialty physicians.
