The Data Collection Bill
Medicare reporting rules get a tweak to boost data collection
Health Care Efficiency Through Flexibility Act
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the bill would let Medicare collect the right kind of data to check quality, which could help keep health care costs in check.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The change could make it easier for insurers and doctors to report quality numbers, which may lead to better care and lower waste, but the impact on your own bill is unclear.
