To provide for a limitation on availability of funds for Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Secretary, Office of Medicare Hearings and Appeals for fiscal year 2024.

HR 2017 sets a maximum funding limit of $182,381,000 for the Medicare Hearings and Appeals office within the Department of Health and Human Services for fiscal year 2024. This bill directly affects the Office of Medicare Hearings and Appeals by restricting its available budget for operations during FY2024. The key provision is a statutory cap preventing the office from spending more than the specified amount, regardless of other appropriations. This is a procedural budget measure with no substantive policy changes to Medicare benefits or appeals processes.
