On March 31, the MMA released an updated version of its “The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) Resource Guide for Physicians.” The guide helps Minnesota practitioners understand how key provisions of the law will affect their practice and patients. A printable version can be found here.
The guide includes five sections that describe the law’s impact on:
Medicaid
The ACA Individual Market & MinnesotaCare
Medicare
Health Savings Accounts
Medical School Loan Access
The Rural Health Transformation Program
Within each section, provisions are listed in order of effective date and explained in clear language.
The MMA encourages the sharing of the guide with all who may be interested, including non-members and non-physicians.
Please contact Adrian Uphoff, manager of health policy and regulatory affairs, with questions.
