NCHC Sends Letter To Conference Committee on HR 3630

The National Coalition on Health Care sent a letter to the Conference Committee on HR 3630 urging members to repeal the SGR formula. This is a crucial step in ensuring reliable access to health care for Medicare beneficiaries and beginning the process of restructuring the provider payment system, a significant contributor to our nation’s rising health costs. Without the annual distraction of dealing with the SGR, Congress and stakeholders can turn to the vital work of developing a provider payment system that encourages value, not volume.
