HR 5935 United States House · 118th Congress

SURS Extension Act

This bill extends the Small Practice, Underserved, and Rural Support (SURS) program under Medicare's Quality Payment Program through fiscal year 2029. It directly affects small, rural, and underserved healthcare practices by maintaining their eligibility for enhanced payment adjustments. The key mechanism inserts a six-year funding extension (2024-2029) into existing Medicare law, ensuring continued financial support for these practices. The change provides stability to the program without altering its core structure or eligibility rules.
