A BILL
To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to apply
a uniform geographic cost-of-practice index value for
physicians’ services furnished under the Medicare Pro-
gram of 1.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS.
(a) SHORT TITLE.—This Act may be cited as the
‘‘Medicare Access Equity Act of 2002’’.
(b) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-
ings:
(1) Americans have paid taxes in to the medi-
care program equally across the country and every
American should have access to quality health care.
(2) There is a national market for health care
providers.
(3) Increasingly, private insurance companies
tie their reimbursement rates to those paid by medi-
care.
(4) The physician fee schedule formula for
medicare currently includes several adjustments for
variable costs throughout the nation. While it is ap-
propriate for the cost of running a practice to reflect
overhead differences, physicians should not be com-
pensated for their time differently based on where
they live.
(5) Medicare beneficiaries pay the same part B
premium regardless of location which forces sub-
sidization of higher reimbursement areas by seniors
in lower reimbursement areas without any cor-
responding benefit.
(6) Areas of the country that currently receive
the lowest reimbursement from medicare are often
the same areas that are experiencing the greatest
shortage of physicians. Attracting more physicians
to these areas cannot be achieved without greater
equity in medicare reimbursement.
SEC. 2. PHYSICIAN FEE SCHEDULE WAGE INDEX REVISION.
Section 1848(e)(1)(A)(iii) of the Social Security Act

ference between the relative value of physi-
cians’ work effort in each of the different
fee schedule areas and the national average
of such work effort; and

2002, without regard to any limitation oth-
erwise 
applicable
