Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services relating to "Medicare Program; Calendar Year (CY) 2025 Home Health Prospective Payment System (HH PPS) Rate Update; HH Quality Reporting Program Requirements; HH Value-Based Purchasing Expanded Model Requirements; Home Intravenous Immune Globulin (IVIG) Items and Services Rate Update; and Other Medicare Policies".

# Summary of HJRES 58 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would cancel Medicare payment rules that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued in November 2024. If passed, it would overturn new payment rates and requirements for home health services, wound care devices, and immune globulin treatments under Medicare for 2025. The bill would also eliminate new reporting requirements for long-term care facilities regarding respiratory illness data. **Who It Affects** The bill impacts Medicare beneficiaries (primarily seniors and disabled individuals receiving home health care), home health agencies, long-term care facilities, and suppliers of medical devices and treatments.

It could affect patient access to these services if payment rates are reduced, and it would eliminate data collection requirements intended to track health trends in nursing homes. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Representative Andrew Clyde (R-GA) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House. It uses a "Congressional Review Act" process, which allows Congress to overturn federal regulations. No action has been taken to advance it.
