    How might extending Medicare incentive payments through 2027 change the number of doctors participating in alternative payment models versus traditional fee-for-service care?

  2. 02

    What evidence shows that these incentive payments have improved patient outcomes or reduced healthcare costs since the Affordable Care Act established them?

  3. 03

    If Congress does not extend these payments, what financial pressures might healthcare providers face when transitioning patients between payment models?
