Oversight of Medicare Billing Code Cost Act

HR 3580, the Oversight of Medicare Billing Code Cost Act, requires the HHS Inspector General to study how Medicare adds, modifies, and removes billing codes, including analyzing the data used and trends in code changes. The Inspector General must submit a report to Congress within one year, including recommendations to improve transparency in this process. Additionally, the bill mandates annual public reports starting in 2025 from the Secretary of Health and Human Services, listing new Medicare billing codes and their associated costs and usage. This directly affects Medicare billing oversight by increasing transparency and accountability for code changes.
