New #OffTheChartPodcast:

@MGMA's @AndersGilberg on health care's administrative crisis — a quarter of all U.S. health care spending goes to overhead, 95% of practices say it's getting worse, and prior auth is the top culprit.

#Denials rising. Prior auths aren't slowing down. Growing pressure on practices.

On #ZotecAnswers, @EdGainesIII & @MGMA's @AndersGilberg unpack what's driving it.

Why advocacy is more important than ever.

From an inspiring keynote from @PamelaBarnumJD and MGMA’s Washington Update from @AndersGilberg to sessions on payer leverage, negotiated rate transparency, data analytics and medical group strategy, the final day of #MGMAFinancial delivered a strong close.

Thank you to the incredible attendees and MGMA staff who made this event such a success. Wishing you all a safe trip home.

🚨 RRC member @MGMA took to the Senate Aging Committee yesterday as Incoming Board Chair Jeffrey Smith called out the burden of MA prior auth requirements and urged action through the #SeniorsAct. We're proud to see our members leading the way for patients and physicians. 👏👏👏

[Anders Gilberg @AndersGilberg]

Appreciate it @MedEconomics. Thankfully this week’s spending bill restored the Medicare 1.0 work RVU GPCI floor, but physician practices need permanent solutions for this and other “extenders” to avoid unnecessary uncertainty. @MGMA

Policy volatility isn’t slowing down in 2026.

@MGMA’s @AndersGilberg explains how delays, uncertainty & temporary fixes are disrupting physician practices — and what to watch next.

Congress has extended key Medicare telehealth flexibilities through the end of 2027, creating more stability for practices and the patients they serve.

MGMA’s updated 2026 Medicare Telehealth Policy resource explains what’s been extended, what remains in place, and how this continuity supports access to care while giving practices room to plan ahead. https://t.co/ItmuUh4cGx

More evidence Congress needs to enact a permanent solution to telehealth flexibilities expiring at the end of the month. Pass the CONNECT for Health Act (S.1261; H.R. 4206) to allow Medicare
beneficiaries to continue accessing vital telehealth services. Stop the cycle of short-term fixes. @MGMA

A new @umichmedicine study of nearly 539M Medicare visits finds telehealth hasn’t driven higher overall utilization.

Visit volumes stayed flat or declined — even in specialties with heavy virtual care use — as Congress nears a telehealth deadline.

The more data we capture, the clearer the picture of today’s medical practices becomes.

MGMA data leader Meghan Wong shares why contributing data matters, from advocacy to benchmarking and the decisions that shape the industry.

@ACEPAdvocacy (via a draft written by the Reimbursement Committee work group that I chair) wrote to @UHC protesting this policy as it relates to Point of Care Ultra-Sounds (POCUS) in 2025.

UHC wrote back citing that their policy aligned w/ @CMSGov which is NOT true, as there is no "separate report" POCUS requirement for CMS.

Once again, UHC earns its reputation as the most disliked and distrusted health plan in the USA, and this is just one more example of anti-clinician and hospital policies.

👏👏 Applauding our 243 #House & 64 #Senate cosponsors leading the charge to #PassTheSeniorsAct this Congress. Let’s get this done!

[Marilyn Heine @MarilynHeineMD]

⚠️ A key takeaway: “The lessening of competition and the exercise of market power cause competitive harm to consumers of health insurance and consumers and providers of care.”

❗️Less choice harms patients and those who provide their care.

Seniors shouldn’t have to fight insurers for timely care. Urge Congress to #PassTheSeniorsAct and reform MA prior authorization. #FixPriorAuth
