Medicare Provider Support: Higher Payments Extended Through 2022
This act extends increased payments for physicians providing services under the Medicare program through the end of 2022. This means that individuals using Medicare can expect stability in access to medical care, as doctors will continue to receive higher rates for their services, encouraging them to accept patients from this program.
Key points
Increased payments for Medicare physicians, originally set to expire in 2021, will be extended for the entire year 2022.
This change aims to ensure that physicians continue to readily accept patients covered by the Medicare program, supporting access to healthcare for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
