The proposal would extend a Medicare program that helps small medical practices, rural clinics, and those serving underserved communities avoid penalties for not meeting certain quality and cost-efficiency standards. This support program gives these smaller and rural healthcare providers more time and flexibility to comply with Medicare's payment rules compared to larger medical organizations. The extension would help ensure that doctors and clinics in less populated areas and those serving low-income patients can continue operating without facing financial penalties.
