Bill Summary

To prohibit the Secretary of Health and Human Services from taking certain actions with respect to Medicaid supplemental payments reporting requirements, and for other purposes. This bill prohibits the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services from finalizing or otherwise implementing the proposed rule titled Medicaid Program; Medicaid Fiscal Accountability Regulation, published on November 18, 2019, until two years after the last day of the public health emergency relating to COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019). The proposed rule establishes new reporting requirements for states with respect to supplemental payments and upper payment limits under Medicaid and generally modifies requirements relating to state Medicaid financing.

AI Summary

This bill prohibits the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services, from finalizing or implementing a proposed rule titled "Medicaid Fiscal Accountability Regulation" that would establish new reporting requirements for states regarding Medicaid supplemental payments and upper payment limits. This prohibition lasts until two years after the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency. However, the bill does not prevent CMS from enforcing existing Medicaid laws or promulgating new rules unrelated to the proposed regulation during this time period.
