Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC)

The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) is an independent federal body that advises the U.S. Congress on Medicare issues. Its main role is to analyze payment systems and the effectiveness of Medicare services, ensuring that beneficiaries receive high-quality care at reasonable costs. MedPAC reviews spending trends, evaluates service delivery, and makes recommendations to improve the Medicare program. By providing data and expert insights, it helps policymakers make informed decisions about Medicare's future, aiming to enhance its sustainability and efficiency for seniors and people with disabilities who rely on this vital health coverage.
