House GOP Seek Input On Risk & Reward, Physician Reporting To Flesh Out 'Doc Fix'
House GOP Seek Input On Risk & Reward, Physician Reporting To Flesh Out 'Doc Fix'-insidehealthpolicy: Key House panels are seeking advice from providers on how a new Medicare physician payment system that bases payment on quality performance would take into account differences among specialties and whether they think some form of risk and reward should be tied to performance on quality care measures, according to documents obtained by Inside Health Policy. The questionnaire, which seeks to fill out the House Ways & Means and Energy & Commerce committees' joint proposal to repeal and replace the Sustainable Growth Rate, was distributed to stakeholders during Friday meetings held by staff from the two committees.
