Legislative Bulletin: Motion to Recommit H.R. 3961, Medicare Physician Payment Reform Act
The Republican motion to recommit would provide a four year “fix” to the Sustainable Growth Rate mechanism for Medicare physician payments, providing 2 percent updates to physicians over each of the next four years. The motion to recommit would be fully paid for by enacting reasonable limits on medical malpractice lawsuits, providing a path to approval for follow-on biologics, and enacting reforms that would simplify administrative inefficiencies in the insurance system.
