HR 10348: Health Care Fraud Prevention and Enforcement Act

The Health Care Fraud Prevention and Enforcement Act increases federal funding for anti-fraud programs within the Departments of Justice and Health and Human Services, with specific budget allocations rising through 2029 and adjusting annually for inflation thereafter. The bill expands the investigative authority of the HHS Office of Inspector General to include programs established under the Affordable Care Act and incorporates the State Children's Health Insurance Program into existing data matching efforts. It also clarifies that "health plan" definitions cover both public and private delivery systems and ensures that funding use does not limit agencies' ability to prosecute fraud or communicate with the public. Additionally, the legislation requires an annual report to Congress by April 1, mandates notice if the report is delayed, and directs the Government Accountability Office to conduct a study on the program's effectiveness within 16 months of enactment.

It also establishes a temporary advisory committee within the Department of Health and Human Services, composed of representatives from federal agencies and individuals with experience in pediatric cancer care or survival. This committee is tasked with developing best practices and recommendations for addressing pediatric cancer in state plans, including specific guidance on using existing block grant funds for these initiatives.

HR 10240: Behavioral Health Crisis Services Expansion Act of 2026

The Behavioral Health Crisis Services Expansion Act of 2026 mandates that Medicare, Medicaid, and most private health insurance plans cover mental health and substance use crisis response services for individuals experiencing acute episodes. These covered services include care provided by mobile crisis teams, urgent care facilities, and stabilization centers that offer short-term observation without rejecting patients based on their ability to pay or other factors. The legislation also requires ambulance providers to transport individuals in crisis to appropriate facilities and extends coverage requirements to TRICARE, veterans' benefits, federal employee health plans, and the Children's Health Insurance Program. These new coverage mandates generally take effect three years after the bill is enacted, with specific provisions ensuring that financial restrictions on these services are no more severe than those applied to standard medical care.

H 5628: An Act relative to specific medical diagnoses regarding the Department of Children and Families

This bill amends Massachusetts law to require the Department of Children and Families to consult with a pediatric medical professional when a parent or caretaker provides evidence that a child has a preexisting condition, such as rickets or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, that can mimic signs of abuse. The key provision mandates this consultation if the medical condition is known to be misdiagnosed as abuse or neglect. A physician or advanced practice registered nurse may then examine the child to advise on whether the observed symptoms are likely caused by the medical condition rather than maltreatment.
