Preserving Patient Access to Accountable Care Act

This bill keeps certain Medicare bonus payments going for one more year. It extends incentive payments for doctors and other health professionals who join approved “alternative payment” care models through 2027. The aim is to continue rewarding providers who take part in these models under Medicare law.

Key points

• Who is affected: Health professionals who participate in eligible alternative payment models under Medicare.
• What changes: The incentive (bonus) payments are extended, so they won’t end sooner than 2027.
• When: Applies through 2027.
