House votes to repeal SGR, reauthorize CHIP

After years of failed attempts and temporary fixes, the House of Representatives on March 26 passed H.R. 2, a bill to repeal the Medicare Sustainable Growth Rate formula (SGR) and replace it with an alternative system that temporarily would raise Medicare physician pay and focus on value-based performance. The bill also reauthorizes the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) for 2 years, as well as other provisions.

Check back for detailed analysis and next steps for the legislation later on March 26.
