MedPAC is a non-partisan, independent legislative branch commission created to advise Congress about Medicare-related issues. Each March, MedPAC reports to Congress on traditional Medicare’s various fee-for-service (FFS) payment systems, the Medicare Advantage (MA) program and the Medicare Part D prescription drug program. MedPAC also analyzes access to care, quality of care and other issues affecting the program.
MedPAC recommended FFS payment updates above current law for acute care hospitals and physician and other health professional services.
The American College of Radiology® (ACR®) is reviewing the report and will provide a detailed summary. For questions, contact Christina Berry, ACR Team Lead, Economic Policy.
