H.R. 2581
Preservation of Access for Seniors in Medicare Advantage Act of 2015
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Ways and Means on June 2, 2015
SUMMARY
H.R. 2581 would establish a demonstration program in the Medicare Advantage (MA)
program, modify the open enrollment period for that program, and change payment rates
for prescription drugs that are administered through items of durable medical equipment
(DME).
CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 2581 would decrease direct spending relative to current
law by $225 million over the 2016-2025 period. Pay-as-you-go procedures apply because
the bill would affect direct spending. Enacting the bill would not affect revenues.
H.R. 2581 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).
ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
The estimated budgetary effect of H.R. 2581 is shown in the following table. The costs of
this legislation fall within budget function 570 (Medicare).
