Camp Statement on Permanent Physician Payment Fix

The following press release was published by the U.S. Congress Committee on Ways and Means on Dec. 20, 2013. It is reproduced in full below.

Washington, DC - Today, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) made the following statement regarding the Committee’s work towards a permanent physician payment fix, also known as the Medicare sustainable growth rate (SGR).

“SGR is an important issue for physicians and seniors alike who, for over a decade, have been hamstrung by short-term patches instead of the certainty of a permanent solution. The Committee has made real progress on a bipartisan and bicameral bill. If that progress continues, I expect the Committee to consider the legislation before the end of next week."
