117-s-610, Protecting Medicare and American Farmers from Sequester Cuts Act
Delays and softens scheduled Medicare payment cuts to keep provider payments steadier. It also extends emergency payment boosts for clinicians, slows private-payor lab rate cuts, postpones a payment reform model, and narrows a fast-track debt‑limit process for Congress. - Clinicians: Retains the roughly 3.8 percent payment boost for services in 2021 and 2022 and adds a new 3.0 percent adjustment for services in 2022. It also extends data and rate adjustments into 2023 to smooth payment changes. - Medicare beneficiaries and providers: Short-term Medicare sequestration reductions are scaled to 1.0 percent from April 1 to June 30, 2022 and set a two-phase FY2030 cut of 2.3 percent then 3.0 percent, preserving more payment in the near term. - Clinical laboratories and private payors: Slows the phase-in of private‑payor rate reductions through 2025 and delays initial and follow-up reporting deadlines into late 2022 and early 2023 to ease the transition. - Budget process and Congress: Changes PAYGO scorecard timing for 2022–2023 and creates a narrow, expedited joint‑resolution path for raising the debt limit with a short listed window and a sunset. Extending payment boosts and postponing larger sequestration cuts is likely to raise near‑term federal outlays, shifting some budget effects into 2022–2023.
117-s-4120, Childhood Cancer STAR Reauthorization Act
Broaden childhood cancer survivorship research and biospecimen access. This law expands what clinical biobanks can store, turns pilot survivorship efforts into funded research, and requires steps to strengthen the pediatric psychosocial care workforce. - Families and survivors: Research and care will focus more on long-term needs for children and adolescents. The law requires tools for secure electronic transfer of treatment records and survivorship care summaries between health care providers or, when appropriate, longitudinal cohorts. - Researchers and biorepositories: Biobanks may now collect solid tumor samples and paired samples. The National Institutes of Health must review researcher access procedures and report findings to congressional health committees within 2 years, and program funding references are updated to 2024–2028. - Health care providers and workforce: The law replaces pilot-program language with active research funding and requires recommendations to boost workforce development for clinicians who deliver psychosocial care to pediatric cancer patients and survivors.
