A final report on changes over time is due two years after the initial one. It appropriates $1,000,000 for fiscal year 2026 for the work.
What the document actually says“The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission shall submit to Congress the following reports:”
An advisory group must send Congress the reports named next.
The group advises Congress on this program. It gets the new data. The first report comes about two years after the data arrives.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
