Joint Internal Medicine/Subspecialty letter to House leaders in support of the SGR Repeal and Medicare Provider Payment Modernization Act

Joint letter to House Leadership from organizations, representing internal medicine and related subspecialties, applauding the unprecedented bipartisan agreement by the House Energy & Commerce, Ways & Means, and Senate Finance Committees on comprehensive legislation to repeal Medicare's flawed Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) formula. This legislation, the SGR Repeal and Medicare Payment Modernization Act, H.R. 4015/S. 2000, represents years of policy development toward a new physician payment system that brings better value to patients and to the entire health care system.
