In addition to advising the Congress on payments to health plans participating in the Medicare Advantage program and providers in Medicare’s traditional fee-for-service program, MedPAC is also tasked with analyzing access to care, quality of care, and other issues affecting Medicare.  \nThe Commission’s 17 members bring diverse expertise in the financing and delivery of health care services. Commissioners are appointed to three-year terms (subject to renewal) by the Comptroller General and serve part time. Appointments are staggered; the terms of five or six Commissioners expire each year. The Commission is supported by an executive director and a staff of analysts, who typically have backgrounds in economics, health policy, and public health.  \nMedPAC meets publicly to discuss policy issues and formulate its recommendations to the Congress. In the course of these meetings, Commissioners consider the results of staff research, presentations by policy experts, and comments from interested parties.([Meeting transcripts are available at www.medpac.gov](Meeting transcripts are available at www.medpac.gov).) Commission members and staff also seek input on Medicare issues through frequent meetings with individuals interested in the program, including staff from congressional committees and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), health care researchers, health care providers, and beneficiary advocates.  \nTwo reports—issued in March and June each year—are the primary outlets for Commission recommendations. In addition to annual reports and occasional reportson subjects requested by the Congress, MedPAC advises the Congress through other avenues, including comments on reports and proposed regulations issued by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, testimony, and briefings for congressional staff.  \n\n| \u003Cbr>J U N E 2 0 2 2\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>REPORT TO THE CONGRESS\u003Cbr>Medicare and the Health Care Delivery System |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| | |\n| 425 I Street, NW • Suite 701 • Washington, DC 20001 (202) 220-3700 • [www. medpac.gov](www. medpac.gov) |  |\n|  |  |\n\n425 I Street, NW • Suite 701  \nWashington, DC 20001  \n202-220-3700 • [www. medpac.gov](www. medpac.gov)  \nMichael E.
