Provider Reimbursement Stability Act of 2026 aims to stabilize Medicare provider payments.
The Provider Reimbursement Stability Act of 2026 amends title XVIII of the Social Security Act to ensure stability for provider payments under the Medicare program. It updates the budget neutrality threshold, limits year-to-year conversion factor variance, and introduces budget neutrality corrections relating to estimated utilization.
