This bill directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to eliminate a current Medicare requirement that ambulatory surgical centers report the COVID-19 vaccination status of their healthcare workers. The change would affect ambulatory surgical centers, which are outpatient facilities where certain surgical procedures are performed, and their employees. The secretary would be required to revise the relevant federal regulations within 45 days of the bill becoming law to remove this reporting requirement. The bill does not establish new funding or create ongoing financial obligations, as it simply removes an existing regulatory mandate rather than adding new programs or requirements.
