- Under the proposal, payments to the plans would increase by an estimated .09% on average in 2027, according to officials from the CMS and the White House.
- CMS is scheduled to make the announcement on Monday.
- CMS is also proposing to eliminate a lucrative industry billing practice that has raised concerns with government watchdogs and was among the tactics examined in reporting by WSJ on Medicare insurers.
- A Medicare official said the proposal aims to improve payment accuracy and ensure Medicare insurers get adequately reimbursed.
- The agency wants to focus on bolstering the billing system's simplicity, competition and accuracy.
By increasing transparency and ensuring payment accuracy, it may alleviate concerns among stakeholders while potentially impacting healthcare stocks and related sectors. However, the focus on eliminating certain billing practices could lead to volatility as industry players adjust to possible regulatory changes.
