I. Purpose: The Panel will discuss the
long-term rate of change in health
spending and may make
recommendations to the Secretary on
how the Medicare Trustees might more
accurately estimate health spending in
the short and long run. The Panel’s
discussion is expected to be very
technical in nature and will focus on the
actuarial and economic assumptions
and methods by which Trustees might
more accurately measure health
spending. This Committee is governed
by the provisions of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5
U.S.C. App. 2, section 10(a)(1) and
(a)(2)). The Committee is composed of
nine members appointed by the
Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation.
II. Agenda. The Panel will likely hear
presentations from the HHS Office of
the Actuary on issues they wish the
panel to address. This may be followed
by a presentation by a representative of
the Medicare Payment Advisory
Commission. Additional presentations
regarding long range growth,
sustainability of provider payments
under Affordable Care Act (ACA) and
Medicare Access and Chip
Reauthorization Act (MACRA), methods
for transitioning from short term (10
year) to long term (75 year) projections
and methods and the presentation of
uncertainty in the report may follow.
After any presentations, the Panel will
deliberate openly on the topics.
Interested persons may observe the
deliberations, but the Panel will not
hear public comments during this time.
The Panel will also allow an open
public session for any attendee to
address issues specific to the topic.
III. Meeting Attendance. The Monday,
October 31, 2016 and Tuesday,
November 1, 2016 meetings are open to
the public; however, in-person
