On December 30, 2023, President Biden signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (CAA23), a $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill to fund the federal government. Weighing in at 1,653 pages, the new law includes several critical healthcare-related provisions:
- Delays the 4% Statutory Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) sequester for two years
- Extends telehealth flexibilities through 2024
- Reduces the 2023 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule cut from 4.5% to 2%
- Continues physician bonus payment for participation in alternative payment models
- Continues the Low Volume Hospital and Medicare Dependent Hospital programs
- Establishes deadlines for State Medicaid redeterminations
- Improves access to behavioral health services
During this one-hour webinar, Martie Ross and Kathy Reep explained both the short and long-term impact of CAA23 on healthcare providers.
The webinar took place on January 25, 2023.
