HR 4157, the Health Information Technology Promotion Act, introduced by Rep. Nancy Johnson (R-CT) Rep. Nathan Deal establishes within the Department of Health and Human Services an Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology.  

Payment Fairness for Practice Costs

The formulas by which Medicare’s payments are calculated are widely variable throughout Medicare localities, and are based upon outdated data assumptions regarding the cost and organization of medical practice.  Alternatives: CMS administratively revise its measurements of the costs of practice to assure the validity and fairness of payments; a payment floor could be established for practice expense; or the present variation (.705 – 1.501) in practice expense could be channeled into a narrower corridor of adjustment 

Payment Equity

In MMA ‘03, Congress established a floor payment mechanism for the physician work component of Medicare payment for ‘04 – ‘06 to assure that physicians in low payment localities were compensated for their work at least at the national average payment amount.  This payment floor should be extended indefinitely or geographic adjustment of work should be eliminated entirely.

H.R.5118 Section 5, SEC. 5. Extension of Floor on Medicare Work Geographic Adjustment. Introduced by Rep. Greg Walden

Medicare Part D Call Center Requirements

CMS issued a February 2006 guidance (Attachment 1) requiring customer service call centers to be open 8 a.m. through 8 p.m. 7 days per week, including holidays. Pharmacy technical help desks are required to be open 24 hours/day 7 days per week if there are network pharmacies open for this period.

Title II: Medicare Advantage - Subtitle B: Immediate Improvements - (Sec. 211) Revises the payment system, requiring all plans to be paid at a rate at least as high as the rate for traditional Medicare fee-for-service plans. 
Subtitle D: Additional Reforms -

 (Sec. 238) Requires the Secretary to enter into an arrangement under which the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences shall conduct an evaluation (for the Secretary and Congress) of leading health care performance measures in the public and private sectors and options to implement policies that align performance with payment under the Medicare program. 













the provision of Medicare and Medicaid services and benefits to patients, incentives to promote electronic health records for all Americans, and prescription drug benefits.

Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 (HR 6111) coupled a tax extenders and trade bill with a number of Medicare and Medicaid provisions including a physician fee freeze, a 1.5% bonus for physicians who report performance measures, extension of the Medicare physician work adjuster floor, and extension of the therapy services cap.

Sustainable Growth Rate

Medicare’s SGR mechanism unfairly links physician payment updates to factors unrelated to patients’ needs and the cost of providing patient care. If the SGR formula is not changed, Medicare program trustees predict that Medicare physician payments will be cut by 31% between 2006-2013.  
S.1081, by Senators Jon Kyl (R-AZ) and Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), the Preserving Patient Access to Physicians Act, would replace projected Medicare payment cuts with positive updates in each of the next two years.   
H.R. 2356. Reps. Clay Shaw (R-FL) and Ben Cardin (D-MD) A bill to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to reform the Medicare physician payment update system through repeal of the sustainable growth rate (SGR) payment update system.   

Pay-for Reporting and Performance

S 1356, Introduced by Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Max Baucus (D-MT), the Medicare Value Purchasing Act, a bill that links physician payment to quality performance, increasing payment by 2% incrementally between 2008 and 2012, and funding the performance payments by drawing funds from physicians who do not report quality performance.   

HR 3617, the Medicare Value-Based Purchasing for Physician Services Act introduced by Rep. Nancy Johnson (R-CT) amends Part B (Supplementary Medical Insurance) of title XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act to provide for value-based purchasing in the payment for physicians' services under the Medicare program. 

On October 28, 2005, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed the Physicians Voluntary Reporting Program (PVRP).  In the program CMS calls on physicians to report on a “Core Starter Set” of 16 evidence-based performance measures selected with input from the National Quality Forum, the Ambulatory Care Quality Alliance, and the National Committee for Quality Assurance, (NCQA).  

Information Technology

S. 1418, the Wired for Health Care Quality Act introduced by Senator Michael Enzi (R-WY) - Amends the Public Health Service Act to establish the Office of the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology to coordinate and oversee programs and activities to develop a nationwide interoperable health information technology infrastructure.
