GAO’s new report shows physician consolidation is accelerating:
- 47% of physicians now in hospital systems (up from <30% in 2012)
- Private equity = 6.5% of ownership
- Higher costs, little quality improvement
This trend raises concerns for access and affordability.

Evaluations of past and current CMMI models clearly demonstrate that independent practices and physicians are able to achieve quality improvements and cost savings in traditional Medicare.

We are thrilled to see this reflected in CMMI’s new strategy and look forward to working with CMMI to further develop and implement model design components that break down barriers to greater participation.

Today @SenBillCassidy and @SenatorHassan
introduced a bipartisan framework for site-neutral payment reform. PEPC has long advocated for site neutral policies to level the playing field for independent physicians. However, Medicare PFS are inadequate & unsustainable for physicians

That is why, without broader payment reform, Congress MUST commit to putting 100% of the savings from any site neutral policy back into Part B payment. Without that commitment, site neutral policies simply take resources out of the health care system.
