Posted by Jason Greis on July 16, 2009 under Articles | Be the First to Comment
President Obama’s looming deadline to hold Congressional pre-conferences and floor votes on comprehensive healthcare reform legislation before Congress’s August recess has prompted a flurry of legislative activity this week. On Tuesday, July 14, 2009, the House released the Tri-Committee health care reform bill, officially titled H.R. 3200, America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009 (the “Tri-Committee Bill”), and with its party-line vote on Wednesday, July 15, 2009, the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (“HELP”) Committee became the first congressional committee to approve a health care reform bill (a copy of which is attached by clicking here).

RTI Report to be Posted to CMS Website by End of July 2009

Section 114(b) of the Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 (“MMSEA”) required the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct a study on the feasibility of establishing national LTACH facility and patient criteria for purposes of determining medical necessity, appropriateness of admission, and continued stay at, and discharge from, LTACHs. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) awarded a contract for this study to Research Triangle Institute International (“RTI”), which was previously awarded a contract in 2005 to evaluate the feasibility of developing patient and facility level characteristics for LTACHs that could distinguish LTACH patients from those treated in other acute care settings. RTI was scheduled to submit its most recent report required under the MMSEA to Congress by June 2009. According to an anonymous source within CMS, the agency is presently reviewing the report’s recommendations for legislation and administrative actions and CMS hopes to post the report on its website by the end of July 2009.
