Provider Reimbursement Stability Act of 2026

Sponsored By: Representative Murphy, Gregory F. [R-NC-3]

In Committee

Summary

This bill would stabilize Medicare physician payments by creating explicit, threshold-based corrections for estimated utilization and by limiting abrupt year-to-year changes in the payment conversion factor. It pairs those corrections with routine updates to practice-cost data used to set relative value units to make payments more predictable for providers.

1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

More stable Medicare doctor payments

If enacted, this bill would change how Medicare Part B sets and fixes doctor payments to reduce big year-to-year swings. For some services, CMS would compare estimated spending to actual spending. If the difference is more than 0.1% of total Part B estimates, CMS would adjust the conversion factor in the second following year. The bill would set dollar triggers ($20,000,000 for years before 2027 and $54,300,000 for 2027) and index the amount starting in 2032. Starting in 2027, yearly changes in the conversion factor could not exceed 2.5% up or down. The Secretary would also be required to update practice-expense cost inputs at least every five years with stakeholder consultation. If enacted, doctor payments could go up or down under these rules and access to Medicare doctors could change.
