Bill Summary
A BILL To delay and offset the sequester to occur in January 2022 under the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Removing Waste and Protecting Medicare Act, proposes several changes to address the sequester (automatic spending cuts) scheduled to occur in January 2022 under the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010. Specifically, it would delay the sequester for 2022, offset the delay by reinstating certain Trump-era policies related to public charge, child tax credit, and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) work requirements, and make adjustments to the Medicare program sequestration reduction for fiscal year 2022. The bill also extends support for physicians and other professionals in adjusting to Medicare payment changes, revises the phase-in of reductions from private payor rate implementation for clinical lab services, delays the implementation of the Radiation Oncology Model under Medicare, and adjusts the Medicare Improvement Fund.
