To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to improve the accuracy of geographic adjustment factors under the Medicare program and to permanently extend certain adjustments to such factors for certain localities, and for other purposes.

Geographic adjustment factors determine how much Medicare reimburses physicians in different parts of the country. The bill has been introduced in Congress and is in the early stage of the legislative process.
