AMA Urges CMS to Rework Medicaid Rule, Senate Introduces Provider Reimbursement Stability Act

The American Medical Association (AMA) has called on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to significantly revise its Medicaid work requirements rule, expressing concerns that the current proposal could lead to improper disenrollments and administrative burdens for patients and physicians. Concurrently, the Senate has introduced the Provider Reimbursement Stability Act (S. 5180), a companion bill to H.R. 8163, which aims to modernize Medicare's physician fee schedule. These advocacy efforts highlight ongoing concerns about healthcare access and physician reimbursement.
