MedPAC Continues Review of Physician Payment Reforms
Physician payment reforms, MIPS challenges and value-based care took center stage at MedPAC’s October meeting.
Read moreThe U.S. House of Representatives this week passed a bipartisan Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Continuing Resolution (CR) that would fund federal agencies at FY 2026 levels through Dec. 11. The Senate approved the measure last month. The bill now goes to President Trump, who must sign it by Sept. 30 to prevent a government shutdown.
The CR also includes a provision that temporarily blocks the implementation of a proposed Office of Management and Budget (OMB) rule. If implemented, the proposed rule could significantly change how the federal agencies review, award, manage and terminate research grants and cooperative agreements. ACR® previously shared concerns about the proposed OMB rule and submitted comments in response.
