Help Protect Our Most Vulnerable Patients
We need to take a stand, for our patients, against the potential Medicare Advantage (MA) cuts that were recently proposed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
The millions of Americans who rely on coordinated care and additional benefits from Medicare programs are at risk. MA cuts would dramatically decrease reimbursement for patients who suffer from early kidney disease and diabetes complications, and could lead to more patients with kidney failure who ultimately need dialysis.
With the ongoing shift toward accountable health care, our responsibility to our patients is greater than ever. It is imperative that we continue to promote the highest quality of care to optimize patient health and quality of life. The cuts, which could result in reduced health care choices and increased costs could challenge our achievement of this goal. They could also impact our individual practices.
Time is running short. Action must be taken by March 31. For the sake of our sick and vulnerable patients, take a moment to urge Congress to stop the proposed MA cuts at ProtectMyMA.com.
It only takes one minute and could help protect millions of patients.
