CBO Cost Estimate for Medicaid Safety Net Act of 2008

H.R. 5613, Protecting the Medicaid Safety Net Act of 2008, April 22, 2008: “Cost estimate for the bill as ordered reported by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on April 16, 2008.”

  • H.R. 5613 would extend existing moratoria on certain regulatory actions taken by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) with regard to the Medicaid program. Those actions are related to payments for services furnished by public providers, for graduate
    medical education, for school-based administration and transportation services, and for rehabilitation services. In addition, the bill would impose new moratoria on Medicaid regulations involving targeted case-management services and provider taxes and on a proposed regulation involving outpatient hospital services. The bill would appropriate $5 million to study the effects of these regulations on the Medicaid program.”
