  • Doctors & Members of Congress Letter to Leadership
    December 3, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker Minority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives H-232, U.S. Capitol H-204, U.S. Capitol Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader McCarthy: We urgently request that you address the impending cuts in the CY21 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule in any legislation moving through the House before the end of the year in an effort to avert yet another health care crisis. This week, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released the CY21 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) final rule. We appreciate the increased payments in the PFS to physicians delivering primary care and complex office-based care. Unfortunately, due to the budget neutral nature of the fee schedule, many specialists will now encounter severe reimbursement cuts starting on January 1, 2021. Health care providers have faced extensive challenges during the COVID-19 public health emergency. Following the COVID-19 public health emergency declaration, the U.S. Surgeon General and CMS urged the cancellation of all “non-essential” medical procedures. As some of our providers faced COVID-19 on the front lines, others were told to suspend the services that comprise most of their revenue. Health care providers are now facing financial distress that may lead to office closures or reduced staffing nationwide due to unprecedented low patient volumes. This will dramatically limit patient access to care during the public health emergency and beyond. Physician Members of Congress reached across the aisle to develop bipartisan solutions to address these upcoming reimbursement cuts, which would provide stability for health care providers as they respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • Rural Hospital Bonus Payment
    November 13, 2020 The Honorable Alex M. Azar II Secretary U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 200 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20201 Dear Secretary Azar: As you continue to address the provision of health care during the COVID-19 public health emergency, we ask that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) resolve rural physician training issues that have been exacerbated by COVID-19. While HHS has taken important steps to shore up the health care system, rural physician training remains at risk. Rural hospitals have been significantly impacted by revenue losses due to lower patient volumes as a result of the public health emergency, and without Federal action, we are concerned that some may be forced to discontinue their physician training programs. In an effort to address this concern, we ask that you support these important programs by releasing targeted support from the Provider Relief Fund established in the CARES Act to fund rural hospitals that train physicians and commit to maintaining these training programs for at least three years. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has reported that “rural training sites may incur higher costs because their training may have to utilize multiple training sites—such as community hospitals or rural health clinics—in order to meet accreditation requirements for resident rotations and patient case-mix. The added administrative work of coordinating with other sites to provide these resources can be a challenge.” Additionally, the data shows that training in rural areas increases the likelihood of practice in rural areas and is associated with a two- to three-fold increased likelihood of rural practice.

  • April 28, 2021 Dear Chairwoman Delauro and Ranking Member
    April 28, 2021 The Honorable Rosa DeLauro The Honorable Tom Cole Chair Ranking Member Labor, HHS, Education, Labor, HHS, Labor, HHS, Education, Labor, HHS, Education, Education, & Related Agencies Subcommittee & Related Agencies Subcommittee Committee on Appropriations Committee on Appropriations 2358-B Rayburn House Office Building 1036 Longworth House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Chairwoman DeLauro and Ranking Member Cole, While frustration is high over the seemingly endless COVID-19 stimulus spending, there is clear and bipartisan recognition that Head Start programs throughout the country have heroically stepped in to ensure basic needs for children living in poverty are met. Head Start staff have worked tirelessly and creatively to ensure early childhood learning has continued amid complex circumstances. This has ranged from home delivery of educational resources and summer school hours to facility modifications and double-sessions to achieve COVID-19 social distance protocols. As a result of this dedication, the vast majority of Head Start programs have been open for months deploying responsible COVID-19 operational modifications. In fact, in December 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cited Head Start as a model for implementation of in-person services because of its successful adherence to CDC guidance and ability to mitigate COVID-19 risk. We collectively commend this effort. We also know that these past fifteen months have been particularly difficult for children with limited resources and the impact of this pandemic will be far more emotional and psychological than physical for most young learners and families at the edge. That is why we strongly encourage the Subcommittee to ensure robust Quality Improvement Funding for science-backed trauma-informed care in the FY22 Labor, HHS, & Education Appropriations Bill.
