RESULTS Act
H.R. 5269 requires the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to contract with a nonprofit database entity to collect private insurance claims data on widely available laboratory tests and use that data to set Medicare payment rates for those tests starting January 1, 2028. The database must include data from more than 50 private payors and be representative of the entire country, and the contracted entity cannot be affiliated with government agencies, insurance companies, providers, or other healthcare organizations. The bill delays scheduled payment cuts for laboratory tests until 2028 and establishes processes for setting rates on less common tests that lack adequate claims data. The bill also allows for judicial and administrative review of the payment rates CMS establishes.
