Efficiency Adjustment Delay Act
This bill delays a Medicare payment adjustment for physicians' services until 2030. It prevents the implementation of a 2025 rule that would have adjusted Medicare payment rates based on efficiency metrics for doctors' work. The delay requires the Secretary to submit a report to Congress by 2027 assessing whether a future one-time adjustment to these payment rates is necessary, with specific conditions for any future implementation. The bill does not cancel the adjustment but postpones it, while maintaining existing payment update percentages for Medicare physician services. It directly affects physicians and Medicare providers who rely on these payment structures.
