The Physician Payment Review Commission (PPRC) was a non-partisan legislative branch agency established in the United States in 1986 to provide independent analysis and recommendations on issues related to Medicare payment policies for physicians and other healthcare professionals. The PPRC's primary role was to review and evaluate the impact of Medicare's payment policies on beneficiary access to care, quality of care, and overall program costs. It conducted studies, held public hearings, and issued reports with recommendations to Congress on how to improve physician payment systems within Medicare. The PPRC was later replaced by the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) in 1997, which continues to carry out similar functions today.
