Bill > HR786

This bill aims to extend incentive payments for healthcare providers participating in eligible alternative payment models (APMs) under Medicare. Specifically, the bill modifies existing law to extend payment incentives through 2027, increasing the incentive payment percentage from 1.88% to 3.53% for that year. Alternative payment models are innovative healthcare payment approaches that tie reimbursement to quality and efficiency, moving away from traditional fee-for-service models. The changes affect sections of the Social Security Act related to Medicare payments, updating year references and percentages to encourage continued participation in these more accountable and potentially cost-effective healthcare delivery models. By extending these financial incentives, the bill seeks to preserve and potentially expand healthcare providers' engagement with alternative payment models that aim to improve patient care quality while potentially reducing overall healthcare costs.
