The following are key elements of the health policy agenda of the Marshfield Clinic:Medicares Sustainable Growth Rate We believe that the longstanding challenges inherent in fee for service reimbursement under the resource based relative value system, and the financial problems associated with the sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula must be addressed to assure access to Medicare benefits and the future solvency of the Medicare program. We recommend that Congress repeal the SGR formula, and link future updates to measures that reflect the cost and value of providing health care services. Congress must also take steps immediately to create increased incentives for preventative care, care coordination, and primary care services. Physician spending is currently only a fraction of total health care spending but it affects nearly all other aspects of health care delivery. We recommend that Congress utilize the leverage of physician spending to deal with the misaligned incentives in the Medicare program that lead to higher costs and inefficiencies throughout the spectrum of health care delivery. We recommend that new evidence-based measures of quality performance be developed to capture outcomes of care processes. We recommend that Congress fund the work of HHS and CMS to identify and vet better performance measures to support a new physician payment system, especially measures that are focused on outcomes, patient experience of care, care coordination, appropriateness of care, and total resource use. Medicare Pay for Value Provider accountability for quality and spending growth is an essential element of delivery system reform. Existing law requires that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) implement a value modifier that applies to Medicare Part B physician payments for certain physicians and physician groups beginning in calendar year 2015. By 2017, CMS is required to appl… Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS),Executive Office of the President (EOP),Health & Human Services, Dept of (HHS),Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC),SENATE 0 0 2014-01-14T11:15:20.687000-05:00
