Bill would require checks into big payment jumps in HHS programs
This bill would require the government's health watchdog to review HHS programs if payments to healthcare providers jump by 10% or more over a six-month period, compared to the prior six months. This means the Inspector General would start looking into sudden spending increases in these programs, which would add to their work and bring a closer look at providers.
Currently, there is no law requiring the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services to automatically start a review when payments to healthcare providers and suppliers increase a lot. If this bill passes, the Inspector General would be required to open a review into any HHS program where total payments to providers and suppliers increase by 10% or more over a six-month period compared to the prior six months.
