The agency's work takes many forms, including cost estimates, testimonies, reports, and other analytic products. Recent Cost Estimates CBO routinely provides the Congress with information about the effects of proposed legislation on the federal budget through its technical assistance and cost estimates.2 The agency is required to prepare a cost estimate for nearly every bill that is approved by a full Congressional committee of the House of Representatives or Senate.3 It also publishes cost estimates at other stages of the legislative process if requested to do so by a relevant committee or by Congressional leadership. This past quarter, the agency published 202 cost estimates, including: * A cost estimate for H.R. 3561, the PATIENT Act of 2023, which would expand price transparency requirements for hospitals, health insurers, and pharmacy benefit managers. m A cost estimate for S. 10, the VA Clinician Appreciation, Recruitment, Education, Expansion, and Retention Support (CAREERS) Act of 2023, which would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to make several changes to its management of the department's health care workforce. A cost estimate for H.R. 485, the Protecting Health Care for All Patients Act of 2023, which would prohibit federal health care programs from using the quality-adjusted life year and similar measures to assess the relative value of medical interventions. CBO also reviews bills scheduled to be taken up under suspension of the rules, which is a procedure th the House of Representatives uses on the floor to act on legislation expeditiously. CBO prepared 11 such estimates for those bills. 1. For previous editions of this report, see www.cbo.gov/taxonomy/term/3/recurring-reports. 2. For additional information about CBO's cost estimates, see www.cbo.gov/cost-estimates. 3. In addition, the agency prepares cost estimates when a bill is the subject of a motion to be placed on the Consensus Calendar-an alternative route to the floor for certain House bills and resolutions that enjoy broad bipartisan support.
