July Wrap Up - Here's what you might have missed...
Here's what went down this month, in case life got busy (we get it!). From major policy shifts to measles updates—we’ve got your back with the need-to-know.
⚖️ Court Ruling That Could Shake Up Care Access
PAMED teamed up with other health leaders to respond to the recent Pennsylvania Superior Court decision in Hagans v. Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. The verdict has serious implications for how care is delivered—and how we stay competitive across the state.
💬Monitoring Congressional Effects on Patient Care
This month, PAMED responded to Congressional action on Medicaid and Medicare, warning of risks to Pennsylvania’s health care system—especially for rural providers. While the bill included a temporary Medicare payment boost for 2026, it dropped key updates tied to the Medicare Economic Index. PAMED remains committed to advocating for policies that protect care and support Pennsylvanians’ health.
🧬 Measles: Stay Alert, Stay Informed
Measles is making headlines again—30+ states have reported cases, and Pennsylvania is officially on the outbreak list. PAMED’s got your clinical and public health FAQs ready so you can keep patients informed and safe.
