The sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula controls physician reimbursement under Medicare. Earlier this year Congress froze reimbursement rates for 2006 at the 2005 level. Rates are scheduled under the SGR to be cut by 5.1 percent in 2007 and will be reduced by 26 percent over the next six years.

Please contact your members of Congress and ask for their support stopping the cuts and reforming the physician reimbursement system to protect patient access to care.
