Keep Physicians Serving Patients Act of 2023
This bill requires Medicare to use the most recent, accurate data when calculating geographic payment adjustments for physicians, directly affecting doctors who treat Medicare patients. It specifically mandates using current physician wage data instead of non-physician wage data as a proxy, and requires updated office rent or health center expense data for practice cost calculations. The bill also establishes minimum payment floors for 2024 and beyond, preventing budget-neutral reductions in physician reimbursement rates. These changes aim to better reflect current costs for delivering care in different areas.
