Medicare payment questions raise Iowa impact concerns
MedPAC questions the use of a per beneficiary measure and notes CMS has stopped publishing it. The report cites cross state care and late payments as shortcomings, while Iowa officials argue the data mask reimbursement disparities. Mayo and University Hospitals figures highlight out of state care and higher rates elsewhere. Local leaders press for formula changes and urge rural fairness as Congress negotiates Medicare bills.
