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 asserts that all providers should be reimbursed at the same standard rate for services rendered under Medicare Part C as those under Medicare Part A and B. By advocating for this change, the Oklahoma House aims to ensure fair coverage and support for both residents with Medicare Part C and the healthcare providers who serve them. The resolution has been directed to the calendar for further consideration.
