Resolution 1030, introduced by Representative Sneed, calls on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to increase reimbursement rates for Medicare Part C, also known as Medicare Advantage Plans. The resolution highlights that approximately 800,000 residents in Oklahoma rely on Medicare coverage and emphasizes the need for equitable reimbursement rates for healthcare providers serving these patients. Currently, providers under Medicare Part C receive different reimbursement rates compared to those under Medicare Part A and B, which the Oklahoma House of Representatives seeks to address.

The resolution urges CMS to standardize reimbursement rates for Medicare Part C to match those of Medicare Part A and B, ensuring fair compensation for providers delivering services to Medicare Advantage Plan beneficiaries. By advocating for this change, the Oklahoma House aims to improve healthcare access and quality for its residents who depend on Medicare coverage. The resolution has been directed to the calendar for further consideration.
