Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): The official committee briefing memorandum confirms H.R. 8622 directly matches the commitment by replacing MIPS with DPPS, but the context is hearing review rather than enacted law.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. same_term A for effort

Miller-Meeks introduced H.R. 8622 on April 30, 2026 to transform Medicare's MIPS into a Data-driven Performance Payment System, directly matching the promise. However, the bill has only been introduced and referred to committees, with no evidence of enactment or implementation as of May 9, 2026. Because the legislative effort is active rather than definitively failed, the promise remains unresolved, with credit for a serious same-term attempt.
