Section 1876 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395mm) is amended by inserting at the end the following: Effective for contract periods beginning on or after the date of enactment of the Medicare Better Health Rewards Program Act of 2013 , an eligible organization may provide to members enrolled under this section with the organization incentive payments, including cash, cash-equivalent, or other types of incentives, for voluntary participation in a Better Health Rewards Program (in this subsection referred to as the Program ) that rewards members for meeting certain health targets established by the Secretary.
In no case shall the payment to an eligible organization under this section (or the premium rate charged by the organization under this section) with respect to members enrolled with the organization take into account any incentive payments made to members under the Program. The Program under this subsection shall be conducted in a similar manner to the manner in which the program under section 1849 is conducted, in accordance with standards established by the Secretary. An eligible organization seeking to participate in the Program shall— notify the Secretary of the organization's intent to participate in the Program; and agree to provide to the Secretary— information regarding— which members participate in the Program; the scores of those members with respect to applicable health targets under the Program; and the incentives members receive for meeting such health targets; and any other information specified by the Secretary for purposes of this subsection.
The Secretary may waive such requirements of titles XI and XVIII as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of the Program established under this subsection. .
