MGMA joined 21 healthcare organizations on a lettercalling on congressional leaders to fully leverage health IT to detect, treat, and prevent the spread of COVID-19. Specifically, the letter urges Congress to address issues including: telehealth and remote patient monitoring, funding to expand rural broadband capabilities, improve the matching of patient medical records, funding for and rapid testing of emerging technologies, and expanded hardship exceptions to protect practices against unfair penalties associated with the Quality Payment Program and other reporting programs.
