Re: HEROES Act comments
Dear Speaker Pelosi, Leader McCarthy, Chairwoman Lowey and Ranking Member Granger,
On behalf of our member medical group practices, the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) offers feedback on several provisions of the ‘‘Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions (HEROES) Act” that directly pertain to medical groups. In general, MGMA is encouraged to see much needed amendments to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and the Accelerated and Advanced Payment Program (APP). Additionally, we appreciate that the Act would increase funding for the Provider Relief Fund, however, we are concerned over certain aspects of this section and offer recommendations for improvement.
