1 H.R. 1781, Payment Commission Data Act of 2019 1 (April 26, 2019)

handle is hein.congrec/paycomd0001 and id is 1 raw text is: j Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate April 26, 2019 Milons of Dollars 2019 2019=2024 2019-2029 Direct Spending (Outlays) 0 0 0 Revenues Deficit Effect 0 0 0 0 0 0 H.R. 1781 would grant the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) and the Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission (MACPAC) access to data about prescription drug spending and utilization in the Medicare Part D program. MedPAC and MACPAC would be prohibited from identifying specific drug prices or discounts revealed by the data. The bill would not affect spending for drugs or other services in either Medicare or Medicaid; therefore, CBO estimates that H.R. 1781 would not affect direct spending or revenues. MedPAC and MACPAC might have to increase spending on information technology (IT) to ensure that the data are secure. Any such spending would be insignificant and subject to appropriation. The CBO staff contacts for this estimate are Rebecca Yip and Lara Robillard. The estimate was reviewed by Leo Lex, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
