Committee
Latest Action · October 18, 2024
Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This joint resolution would block a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services rule that sets payment rates and quality reporting requirements for inpatient rehabilitation facilities under Medicare for fiscal year 2025. The rule, published on August 6, 2024, establishes how much Medicare will pay these facilities for patient care and what quality metrics they must track and report. If passed, the resolution would nullify the rule entirely, meaning it would not take effect and these facilities would need to operate under previous payment and reporting standards. The resolution was referred to the House Ways and Means Committee and the Energy and Commerce Committee, which are responsible for Medicare policy.
