The Government Accountability Office (GAO), a federal agency that examines how taxpayer dollars are spent, is now accepting nominations for MedPAC appointments, with terms beginning May 2026. MedPAC is an independent congressional agency established by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 to advise the U.S. Congress on issues affecting the Medicare program. By statute, the Commission includes nationally recognized experts in health finance, economics, actuarial science, health care delivery and management, provider reimbursement, and clinical practice. The Commission must reflect diverse professional backgrounds, broad geographic representation, and a balance between urban and rural perspectives.
Letters of nomination and resumes should be submitted to MedPACappointments@gao.gov by February 6.
