Bill overview
The Provider Reimbursement Stability Act of 2026 aims to stabilize Medicare payments to healthcare providers by adjusting how the Medicare Economic Index (MEI) is used in determining payment rates. Specifically, it increases the threshold for budget neutrality adjustments, requires adjustments based on actual versus estimated utilization, and mandates more frequent updates to direct cost inputs used in calculating relative value units for physician services. These changes are intended to reduce uncertainty and volatility in provider reimbursement.
