Resolution; Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Oklahoma's House of Representatives passed a resolution asking the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to require equal reimbursement rates for healthcare providers serving Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage) patients as those serving Medicare Part A and B patients. The resolution addresses current payment disparities, where providers under Part C receive different rates than those under Parts A and B for the same services. This request directly affects Oklahoma's approximately 800,000 Medicare beneficiaries and their healthcare providers who participate in Medicare Part C plans. (Note: As a resolution, it does not change law but formally requests CMS action.)
