H.R. 5269

House

RESULTS Act

In debate

The bill is being debated or has cleared committee and is moving toward a floor vote.

In brief

The RESULTS Act requires the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to use private-sector claims data when setting Medicare payment rates for widely available clinical diagnostic laboratory tests. The agency must contract with an independent nonprofit entity to maintain a database of national health insurance claims to inform these rates beginning January 1, 2028. The bill also delays scheduled Medicare payment reductions for laboratory services until 2028 and establishes new processes for pricing tests that lack sufficient market data. Introduced by Representative Richard Hudson (R-NC), the bill is currently awaiting committee consideration.
