House Republicans have proposed a plan that would slowly shift Medicare reimbursement to a combination of fee-for-service and pay-for-performance, according to a Medscape Medical News report.

The newly revealed plan, which is not yet a bill, would give medical societies and other provider organizations the task of coming up with performance metrics to measure physician performance, according to the report. Clinicians and HHS would also be able to work together and create specialty-specific payment criteria.

The Republican plan would also repeal Medicare’s sustainable growth rate formula.
