If the SGR formula is not changed during the coming year, Medicare program trustees predict that Medicare physician payments will be cut by 31% between 2006-2013. Reform proposals include reimbursement updated on a market basket basis, removal of prescription drugs from the calculation of Medicare Part B costs, and rebasing Part B to reflect current rather than cumulative costs. S.1081, by Senators Jon Kyl (R-AZ) and Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), the Preserving Patient Access to Physicians Act of 2005, would replace projected Medicare payment cuts with positive updates in each of the next two years. The bill would provide an update of not less than 2.7% in 2006 and an update in 2007 that reflects physician practice cost inflation, which is expected to be about 2.6%. 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 performance Currently the prevailing methods of paying for health care in the US neither incent nor reward providing high quality care. The rising costs of care coupled with the increasing awareness of poor quality care have made clear the need for a transformation in the way health care is financed. In the fee-for-service system Medicare currently reimburses for units of service, in a manner that promotes service utilization without regard to quality. This has had the unanticipated, but now recognized effect of economically stimulating growth in the numbers of services provided by physicians. Medicare must implement quality based payments for physician services, and capture the data on performance measures utilizing available claims-based data recoverable through enhanced IT functions.

Of the health-related organizations, hospitals constitute almost three-quarters of total revenues. Congress is looking at several issues: how the standards for tax-exemption evolved; what criteria are used to assess if organizations meet the tax-exempt standard; whether tax-exempt organizations operate principally as businesses selling their services in a competitive market.

James Jeffords. This bill creates a new voluntary medical error reporting system, in which HHS would certify a number of private and public organizations to act as patient safety organizations. These PSOs would analyze data on medical errors, determine their causes, and develop and disseminate evidence-based information to providers to help them implement changes that would improve patient safety. To ensure reporting, data would be privileged against disclosure. Medical Liability The State of Wisconsin has successfully limited the escalation of liability insurance costs by implementing MICRA style medical liability reforms that include limits on non-economic damages, collateral source rules and limits on attorney’s contingency fees. This proven mechanism for restraining liability insurance costs should be made widely available throughout the country. HR 534, the Help Efficient, Accessible, Low-Cost, Timely Healthcare (HEALTH) Act of 2005, introduced by Rep. Chris Cox in the House and S. 354 by Senator John Ensign in the Senate to improve patient access to health care services and provide improved medical care by reducing the excessive burden the liability system places on the health care delivery system. S. 306, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2005, introduced by Senator Olympia Snowe. And HR 1227 introduced by Rep. Judy Biggert in the House. Amends the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the Public Health Service Act, and the Internal Revenue Code to prohibit health discrimination on the basis of genetic information or services. Defines genetic information as genetic tests of an individual or family member or occurrence of a disease or disorder in family members used to predict risk of disease in asymptomatic or undiagnosed individuals. Defines genetic services as health services provided for genetic education and counseling.
