A study of how the changes work is due to Congress by January 15, 2033
What the document says“Not later than January 15, 2033, the Comptroller General shall submit to Congress a report containing the results of the study conducted under subparagraph (A), together with recommendations for such legislation and administrative action as the Comptroller General determines appropriate.”
Paragraph (3) of subsection (b) requires the Comptroller General to study how the amendments are put into practice, covering so far as data allow the use of the cost sharing protection, trends in accuracy scores overall and among mental health and substance use disorder providers, provider response rates by verification method, and administrative costs to providers and plans. The report is due to Congress by January 15, 2033.
What the document actually says“Not later than January 15, 2033, the Comptroller General shall submit to Congress a report containing the results of the study conducted under subparagraph (A), together with recommendations for such legislation and administrative action as the Comptroller General determines appropriate.”
By January 15, 2033 a watchdog office must send Congress a report on the study. It must add what it thinks Congress or the agency should do.
A rule can work on paper and fail in practice. The study looks at what really happened. It comes years after the rules start.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
