Technical Advisory Panel on Medicare 

Trustee Reports

AGENCY: Assistant Secretary for

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

SUMMARY: This notice announces a 

public meeting of the Technical 

Advisory Panel on Medicare Trustee 

Reports (Panel). Notice of this meeting 

is given under the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App. 2, section 

10(a)(1) and (a)(2)). The Panel will 

discuss the long-term rate of change in 

health spending and may make 

recommendations to the Medicare 

Trustees on how the Trustees might 

more accurately estimate health 

spending in the long run. The Panel’s 

discussion is expected to be very 

technical in nature and will focus on the 

actuarial and economic methods by 

which Trustees might more accurately 

measure health spending. Although 

panelists are not limited in the topics 

they may discuss, the Panel is not 

expected to discuss or recommend 

changes in current or future Medicare 

provider payment rates or coverage 

policy.

DATES: November 15, 2004, 8 a.m.–4
