e. Effects on the Medicare Program For PY 2025, we estimate that the ESRD QIP would contribute approximately $17,154,657.12 in Medicare savings. For comparison, Table 17 shows the payment reductions that we estimate will be applied by the ESRD QIP from PY 2018 through PY
2025. This includes our PY 2022 scoring and payment proposals as described in section IV.D of this proposed rule.
