How the Budget Reconciliation Bill Impacts RCM Companies

Event Materials (Key Required)

Both Chambers of Congress and the White House controlled by Republicans. Controlling these institutions allows Republicans to use the budget reconciliation process to advance much of its legislative agenda by lowering the threshold for passing legislation in the Senate from 60 votes to a simple majority. While politically advantaged in this way, budget reconciliation bills are limited from a policy standpoint to provisions that increase or decrease federal spending and revenue.

At the time this description was created, the budget reconciliation bill is still being drafted. Congress is expected to pass the bill by the end of the summer, possibly earlier. This bill we’ll have major implications for the US healthcare system, especially the Medicaid program. It also includes many important tax policies for both individuals and businesses. This session we’ll dissect the budget reconciliation bill and analyze its impact on the RCM industry.

The reconciliation bill will be the main legislative vehicle for much of the Republican legislative policy agenda. However, many important policy priorities will not be included in the bill for either policy or political reasons. It will also explore policies that were not included in the reconciliation bill that Congress could address in the near future.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the budget reconciliation process and why it is so important for understanding legislative policy.
• Learn about policies in the budget reconciliation bill that impact the healthcare system.
• Understand the impacts on the CM industry.
