Summary
The Provider Reimbursement Stability Act changes how Medicare sets and adjusts payment rates for doctors and other providers. It raises the budget‑neutrality funding ceiling, adds a correction process for mismatches between estimated and actual service use, forces cost‑input updates every five years, and caps year‑to‑year payment changes at 2.5%. The goal is to give providers more predictable payments while keeping overall Medicare spending neutral.
