- Summary:
- The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 required that GAO examine private-sector initiatives that base or adjust physician payment rates on quality and efficiency, and the initiatives' applicability to the Medicare program. This report provides information on (1) common themes among private entities with payment incentive initiatives, and physician perspectives on those themes; and (2) the extent to which CMS's financial incentive initiatives for Medicare physicians reflect such themes. GAO acquired information from nine private entities on 12 initiatives selected from expert referrals to include various sizes, types, and geographic locations. GAO also obtained information from physician groups, state medical societies, and national physician organizations. GAO additionally interviewed CMS officials and reviewed relevant CMS documents.
