Medicare would pay doctors differently, boosting primary care and improving quality reporting.
This bill would change how Medicare pays doctors, especially for primary care services. It would create a new monthly payment model for primary care providers and update how other doctors are paid. These changes aim to improve patient access to care and encourage quality improvements.
Today, Medicare generally pays doctors for each service they provide, and the quality reporting system (MIPS) uses specific measures. After this bill, Medicare would offer a new monthly payment model for primary care, shift the quality reporting system (POINTS) to focus more on care efficiency, and adjust how overall doctor payments are updated and geographically adjusted.
