Investivoq CongressRadar
Bipartisan lawmakers propose adjusting Puerto Rico Medicare Advantage payments to better reflect local healthcare costs.
Investivoq AI Summary
Bill introduced on Puerto Rico Medicare payments: Congressman Gus Bilirakis and three other lawmakers introduced the Puerto Rico Medicare Advantage Fairness Act. They say the bipartisan bill would address a formula issue that leaves Medicare Advantage plans in Puerto Rico with lower payments than intended.
What the proposal would do: The press release says Puerto Rico’s payment adjustment is based on a measure tied to traditional Medicare spending, which is less common on the island. The bill would set Puerto Rico’s adjustment equal to the U.S. Virgin Islands’ and make it change along with that territory’s rate.
Claimed effects: The release says the current system affects more than 680,000 beneficiaries in Puerto Rico and has contributed to smaller provider networks and reduced benefits. Supporters quoted in the release say the change would improve fairness and access to care.
