Regulatory burden isn’t just an administrative issue — it’s a workforce crisis. In the 2026 MGMA Regulatory Burden Report, more than three‑quarters of medical practices (77%) say regulatory and administrative requirements are a significant contributor to physician burnout. What’s driving that burnout? ➡️ Prior authorization and appeals that pull clinicians into uncompensated work ➡️ Medicare Advantage denials and downcoding that undermine payment predictability ➡️ Reporting and documentation requirements that crowd out time for patient care For many practices, this isn’t about inconvenience — it’s about sustainability. Burnout is pushing physicians to reduce hours, leave practice, or retire early, worsening access challenges for patients nationwide. MGMA Government Affairs continues to advocate for administrative simplification, stronger oversight of Medicare Advantage plans, and regulatory reforms that let physicians focus on care — not paperwork.
