Medicare Physician Data-driven Performance Payment System Act of 2026
Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Summary
The bill replaces the Merit‑based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) with a Data‑driven Performance Payment System (DPPS) starting Jan. 1, 2027. It revises the formula that adjusts Medicare physician fees, giving higher multipliers to doctors who score above a performance threshold and lower multipliers to those who score below it. The law also sets a transition period and ties the application of adjustments to the receipt of timely performance feedback.
