Add Your Name to the Petition for a Permanent Medicare Fix

     The Medical Society of DC has joined with 50 other state medical societies and 14 national speciality societies in a campaign to enact a permanent replacement to Medicare’s flawed Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) formula. Every year for a decade, physicians have faced steep cuts that jeopardize our ability to care for our patients – all thanks to that formula.

     Please join in our campaign to gather 1 million signatures to “Stop the Medicare Meltdown.” Add your name to the petition and share it with your friends, family, colleagues, staff, and patients,

     The petition asks Congress to develop a rational Medicare physician payment system that automatically keeps up with the cost of running a practice and is backed by a fair, stable funding formula.

     Remember, even if you don’t take Medicare, the SGR affects TriCare and most commercial iinsurance payment schedules are based on a percentage of Medicare rates.
