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.
