The Nurses Belong in Nursing Homes Act provides $800 million in annual federal funding starting in fiscal year 2027 to support Medicare and Medicaid inspections and certification of nursing homes and other healthcare facilities. The bill also codifies two existing federal regulations into law, making permanent requirements for reporting on long-term care services and payment transparency that previously existed only as agency rules. Together, these provisions are designed to strengthen oversight and accountability in nursing home operations by ensuring consistent federal funding for inspections and cementing key transparency requirements that cannot be easily reversed through regulatory changes alone.
