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; Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Prospective Payment System for Federal Fiscal Year 2025 and Updates to the IRF Quality Reporting Program".
HJRES 216 is a joint resolution seeking congressional disapproval of a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) rule that would have changed Medicare payments for inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs) and updated their quality reporting requirements for fiscal year 2025. If passed, the resolution would block the CMS rule from taking effect, preserving the current payment system and reporting standards for IRFs. This action uses the Congressional Review Act process, which allows Congress to reject federal agency rules within a specified timeframe. The resolution directly affects Medicare providers operating inpatient rehabilitation facilities by maintaining existing payment structures and quality reporting obligations.
