New legislation put forth by the Senate and House of Representatives offer policies for repealing and replacing SGR before the April 1 deadline, which would trigger significant cuts in Medicare reimbursement.
“The AAOS strongly supports the bipartisan, bicameral SGR repeal-and-replace plan agreed to by both the House and Senate committees and included in legislation introduced by Representative Burgess, Senator Wyden and Senator Hatch,” said Dr. Azar in the statement. “AAOS implores Congress to continue bipartisan efforts and resolve any outstanding issues in a way that would see this legislation enacted before the current patch expires.”
