Late last night, #Congress narrowly passed a funding bill to reopen the government and extend key #Medicare programs, including #telehealth flexibilities and the Acute Hospital Care at Home program. These extensions are retroactive to October 1, 2025, ensuring physicians get paid for care delivered during the shutdown. ❌ But there's a catch — the funding only lasts until January 30, 2026, meaning another policy showdown is just months away. ⌛ 📣 Read our latest #AtoZPAC blog to learn more: https://lnkd.in/gkGdKUgQ

Did you know that beginning Jan. 1, 2026, the #WISeR Model could allow private companies in six states to use AI-driven prior authorization to delay or deny medically necessary care? This shift could affect millions of seniors who rely on timely, physician-led healthcare. There's a clear path forward: the Seniors Deserve SMARTER Care Act (U.S. H.R. 5940) would stop the WISeR Model before it launches and protect access to appropriate, clinician-guided care. If you believe healthcare decisions should remain in the hands of physicians, not algorithms, take action today to support this legislation! 👉 https://lnkd.in/gBkwPw3X #Medicare #SMARTERCareAct #AI #algorithm #priorauth

💡Imagine an #AI algorithm saying "No" to your medical care instead of your doctor. That's what the #WISeR Model threatens for #Medicare patients in 2026. #PriorAuthorization delays are bad enough—AI-driven denials make it worse. ❌ ✅ The #SMARTERCareAct (H.R. 5940) fights to keep care timely and physician-led.

Our own Ed Gaines and Emergency Department Practice Management Association (EDPMA) leadership visited Capitol Hill this past week—despite the federal shutdown—to advance two key policy priorities for emergency medicine: improvements to the #MPFS and support for the bipartisan #NSA Enforcement Act. This is the perfect example of advocacy in action! 🤝

At this week's Becker's CEO + CFO Roundtable in Chicago, Mark Isenberg and Christopher Crancer had the opportunity to speak on an important and timely topic: "Regulation, Reimbursement & Revenue: How Healthcare Advocacy is Reshaping the RCM Landscape."
