Bill > HR1030

This resolution calls on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to standardize reimbursement rates for Medicare Part C (also known as Medicare Advantage Plan) to be equivalent to those for Medicare Part A and B. The resolution highlights that Oklahoma has approximately 800,000 Medicare recipients and notes that currently, CMS reimburses providers at different rates depending on the specific Medicare plan a patient is enrolled in. The Oklahoma House of Representatives seeks to address this disparity by requesting that providers who offer services under Medicare Part C receive the same standard reimbursement rates as those who provide services under Medicare Parts A and B, which would ensure more equitable compensation for healthcare providers across different Medicare plan types.
