Bill > S4935

This bill, the Physician Fee Stabilization Act, aims to update the budget neutrality threshold under the Medicare physician fee schedule. Specifically, it increases the threshold amount from $20 million to $53 million in 2026, and then allows for annual adjustments to account for the cumulative increase in the Medicare Economic Index (MEI), which tracks changes in the costs of providing physicians' services. This change is intended to provide more flexibility and stability in the Medicare physician payment system.
