Health Care Efficiency Through Flexibility Act

Chamber Passed·7/13/26

Health Care Efficiency Through Flexibility Act ensures quality reporting flexibility for Medicare ACOs.

The Health Care Efficiency Through Flexibility Act amends the Social Security Act to enhance flexibility in quality reporting for Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) participating in the Medicare Shared Savings Program. The bill allows the Secretary of Health and Human Services to disregard data for certain measures if the ACO demonstrates that the data is unrepresentative due to the inability to collect it through specified collection types.
