Payments rise 2.5 percent for services in 2026
What the document says“such services furnished on or after January 1, 2026, and before January 1, 2027, by 2.5 percent.”
The section adds a new subparagraph (F) to section 1848(t)(1) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395w-4(t)) raising payment by 2.5 percent for services furnished on or after January 1, 2026 and before January 1, 2027, drops the years from the subsection heading, adds 2026 to the years the subsection covers, and makes a matching change in section 1848(c)(2)(B)(iv)(V).
What the document actually says“such services furnished on or after January 1, 2026, and before January 1, 2027, by 2.5 percent.”
Payment rises by 2.5 percent. That covers care given from January 1, 2026. It stops at the end of that year.
The rise lasts one year only. Nearby wording is updated to match. The older law it sits in is not indexed here.
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.
