The Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 establishes budget-reporting and enforcement procedures for legislation affecting direct spending
or revenues. The net changes in outlays and revenues that are subject to those procedures are shown here.

Estimates relative to CBO's March 2020 baseline. The estimate of the option to extend additional coverage to postpartum women accounts for
projected changes in enrollment from lower labor force participation (see Congressional Budget Office, Interim Economic Projections for
2020 and 2021, May 19, 2020, www.cbo.gov/publication/56351); estimated budget authority equals outlays; components may not sum to
totals because of rounding.

H.R. 4996 would allow states the option to extend postpartum coverage under Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program to one
full year after the birth of a child.

The bill also would remove the cap on rebates for outpatient drugs covered by Medicaid. The cap is currently set at 100 percent of the average
manufacturer price.

In addition, the bill would increase funding available for use by the Secretary of Health and Human Services under the Medicaid Improvement
Fund.

Enacting the bill also would increase off-budget revenues by $649 million.
