The National Association for Home Care & Hospice, the American Health Care Association, the American Hospital Association and the American Medical Association wrote a letter on October 21, 2020, to congressional leaders, "urging them to extend the congressionally-enacted moratorium on the application of the Medicare sequester cuts into 2021 and through the duration of the public health emergency.”
The 2% sequester had been part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which gave financial relief to providers in the Medicare program.
