Congratulations to the recipients of #OurAMA's Award for Outstanding Government Service! Thank you for all your work and tireless dedication to improving public health. #AMANAC

.AMA is proud to play a role in shaping the future of health care through the AMA Research Challenge, the nation’s largest multispecialty research event for medical students, residents and fellows, and international medical graduates. Tune in to find out the winner

3 in 5 physicians fear insurers’ unregulated AI will override medical judgment & deny necessary care with little to no human review. This isn’t #PriorAuth reform—it’s a barrier to care. It’s time to #FixPriorAuth. spr.ly/6014L3tDr

Stigma keeps many physicians from seeking care due to fear of repercussions. Every removed intrusive mental health question is a step toward a stronger, supported health care community. #OurAMA is proud to work with Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes' Foundation to drive progress. spr.ly/6013LjoLU

The broken Medicare payment system that continues to create financial hardships for physicians jeopardizes access to care for patients and threatens the long-term viability of independent practice. It is time for Congress to #FixMedicareNow. spr.ly/6018LdXip

Physicians—especially in underserved areas—are facing unsustainable Medicare cuts. H.R. 879 would stop the 2.83% cut & provide a 2% payment update to keep practices open. With 99 bipartisan cosponsors & growing—Congress must act by 3/14 to #FixMedicareNow! spr.ly/6010LiGdK

With measles outbreaks rising and spring break travel ahead, the AMA urges everyone to get vaccinated now. Measles is highly contagious and can be life-threatening—the MMR vaccine is the safest way to protect yourself and your community. #VaccinesWork spr.ly/6012LLJY6

For years, the AMA has pointed out that the system is unsustainable. MedPAC today bolstered that message. It’s now on Congress to #FixMedicareNow . spr.ly/6010LN8oG

“Congress has failed physicians, and Medicare patients will pay the price. The window to reverse this reckless decision is rapidly closing. Lawmakers must explain why protecting access to quality health care is not a priority or how they plan to fix it.” spr.ly/601006eO6

Medicare cuts threaten to exacerbate existing health inequities for economically & socially marginalized patients in the nation’s rural areas. The 2.83% cut for 2025 marks the 5th consecutive year of Medicare pay cuts for docs. We must #FixMedicareNow. spr.ly/60130rzeF

“With exquisite timing, MedPAC has highlighted how Congress can strengthen Medicare policy. With uncertainty surrounding the continuing resolution, the report offers a roadmap to Congress on how to address the cuts." spr.ly/60130rxff #FixMedicareNow

#OurAMA commends HHS for renewing the public health emergency declaration to address the U.S. opioid epidemic. We urge policymakers to use this renewed declaration to address insurance & pharmacy barriers by enforcing mental health & substance use parity laws.

Overly burdensome prior authorization processes take a heavy toll on physicians. The result? Higher physician burnout, lower practice productivity tied to diverted time and resources, and higher practice costs. It's time to #FixPriorAuth. spr.ly/60170C3b7

Physician burnout has improved since COVID, but rates remain much higher than other U.S. workers. As a leader in physician well-being, #OurAMA urges continued action to tackle root causes and improve burnout rates. spr.ly/6016Fa3zK

MedPAC voted to urge Congress to tie Medicare payment updates to the rising cost of care—a timely move as physician pay faces more cuts. The status quo is bad medicine. It's time Congress listened to the experts. spr.ly/6017FL3y9 #FixMedicareNow

Physicians should be encouraged to seek care for mental health and well-being without fear. The AMA is fighting at the state & federal levels to create wellness programs that ensure docs can access coaching and counseling with confidence & confidentiality. spr.ly/6016294ci

Prioritizing the wellbeing of the health care workforce must be an essential part of delivering high-quality care to patients. #OurAMA's proud to work with drbreenheroes to help medical boards, hospitals and health systems take meaningful action. spr.ly/6018N2fgs

Enforcement of mental health and substance use parity laws is long overdue. The Mental Health Parity Index will spotlight insurer failures so America's physicians can demand accountability and protect patients. spr.ly/6010NNHeM

Physician burnout is steadily declining—and #OurAMA's efforts are making a real impact. Learn what’s working and what still needs to be done. spr.ly/6018NhMZn

The court ruled MultiPlan will have to defend charges that it ran a secretive, insurer-run scheme to underpay out-of-network medical bills in violation of antitrust laws. This is a big step toward a more transparent system that puts patients & docs first. spr.ly/60154BQ1l
