Legislative Bulletin: Second Motion to Recommit H.R. 3961, Medicare Physician Payment Reform Act
The second Republican motion to recommit would provide a two year “fix” to the Sustainable Growth Rate mechanism for Medicare physician payments, providing up to $22.3 billion. The motion would include a finding that the Secretary of Health and Human Services should transfer a commensurate amount from the Medicare Improvement Fund to finance the cost of the SGR fix.
