Urge Your Members of Congress to Oppose Eliminating the Medicaid Bonus Payment for Primary Care Providers
AGS is seeking your assistance today in light of a recent proposal from House Republicans that would eliminate the Affordable Care Act’s Medicaid pay increase for primary care providers. The payment, which is scheduled to take effect January 1, ensures that Medicaid payments for eligible physician services throughout the country are at parity with Medicare. Such potential cuts to Medicaid payments would seriously undermine the quality of care delivered to our nation’s most vulnerable seniors. Through our Health in Aging Advocacy Center, you can take action today and urge your members to oppose elimination of the Medicaid primary care payment increase.
