Last year, we came together with MACRA. That landmark reform repealed the SGR and already started the process of transforming how we try to pay physicians under Medicare.
Thank you for holding this Member Day hearing to improve and sustain Medicare.
One of the largest holes in the Medicare system is that it does not currently cover most dental, vision, or hearing expenses.
We have begun to lay the groundwork for payment reform by passing the IMPACT Act, which will give us the data we need to improve quality in post-acute care settings.
