International Affairs

This bill prohibits the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation from prohibiting or restricting the source of energy used by a power-generation project that has as its purpose the provision of affordable electricity in certain countries. Such countries are those that are eligible for support either solely from the International Development Association (IDA) or jointly from the IDA and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. Further, the corporation (1) may not reject a power-generation project in such a country based on the source of energy used by the project; and (2) must promote a technology- and fuel-neutral energy development strategy for such countries that includes the use of oil, natural gas, coal, hydroelectric, wind, solar, and geothermal power and other sources of energy.

H.R.5145

Environmental Protection

This bill requires the Department of the Interior to establish a grant program for plant genetics and genomics research related to (1) making riparian forests (e.g., forests on river banks) become more resilient to climate change and invasive species; and (2) providing critical habitat for animals and plants that are suffering from lost, degraded, or threatened habitat.

To authorize new grants for research into riparian forest genetics and climate adaptation. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. FINDINGS. Congress finds that-- (1) because most native plant species are genetically adapted to their local environment, climate change and invasive species result in plants no longer being locally adapted; (2) to promote restoration success, a network of integrated field trials (also known as provenance trials or common gardens) is crucial to determine which populations of dominant plants can survive current and projected future conditions, which in turn will enable the development of precision models to forecast climate change impacts on key native riparian forest species and the species that depend upon them for their survival; and (3) riparian systems are integral to and essential to wetland health and preservation, research into, and efforts to restore and protect the health of riparian ecosystems is essential. SEC. 2. RESEARCH GRANTS FOR PROJECTS RELATED TO RIPARIAN FOREST GENETICS AND CLIMATE ADAPTATION. The Secretary of the Interior shall establish a grant program for eligible entities to carry out projects that involve long-term research into plant genetics and genomics to make riparian forests and streams more resilient to climate change and invasive species and to provide critical habitat for birds, native fish, endangered species and other animals and plants that are suffering from lost, degraded, or threatened habitat. The Secretary shall determine entities eligible to receive such grants, projects eligible for such grants, application and approval procedures for such grants, and any limitations on the amount and uses of such grants, and any other terms and conditions the Secretary determines appropriate. SEC. 3. DEFINITION OF RIPARIAN FOREST. As used in this Act, the term ``riparian forest'' means any riparian area and includes all plant, animal, insect, and microbial communities in such areas. SEC. 4. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS. There is authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary of the Interior $13,000,000 for each of fiscals years 2022 through 2031 to carry out the grant program established under section 2. <all>

To authorize new grants for research into riparian forest genetics and climate adaptation. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. FINDINGS. Congress finds that-- (1) because most native plant species are genetically adapted to their local environment, climate change and invasive species result in plants no longer being locally adapted; (2) to promote restoration success, a network of integrated field trials (also known as provenance trials or common gardens) is crucial to determine which populations of dominant plants can survive current and projected future conditions, which in turn will enable the development of precision models to forecast climate change impacts on key native riparian forest species and the species that depend upon them for their survival; and (3) riparian systems are integral to and essential to wetland health and preservation, research into, and efforts to restore and protect the health of riparian ecosystems is essential.

Health

Biologics Competition Act of 2022 This bill requires the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to evaluate (1) the differences between the requirements that apply to interchangeable biologics and the requirements that apply to therapeutically equivalent ratings for generic drugs, and (2) the effects of these differences on the approval of interchangeable biologics. The FDA must update the Purple Book with changes that better align the ways these requirements are communicated while still maintaining each distinct approval pathway. The Purple Book is an FDA publication that lists approved biological products, including biosimilars and interchangeable biologics. Interchangeable biologics are biologics that may be substituted for the original product without consulting the prescriber, similar to how generic drugs may be substituted for brand-name drugs based on therapeutic equivalence.

Better Way for Providers To Repay Act of 2021 This bill modifies recoupment provisions under the Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Program during the public health emergency relating to COVID-19. The program provides Medicare payments in advance to eligible providers experiencing claims or cash flow disruptions, such as during national emergencies; the program was specifically expanded in response to COVID-19 to encompass more types of providers, subject to certain recoupment and repayment provisions. The bill provides for an additional 3 months before recoupment of advance payments (through claims offsets) begins, so that recoupment begins 15 months (rather than 12 months) after payments are made. The bill also applies repayments that providers have already made toward the collection of offsets for a corresponding amount of time.

To provide for a 3-month delay for the recoupment of certain payments made under the accelerated or advance payment programs under the Medicare program. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the ``Better Way for Providers To Repay Act of 2021''. SEC. 2.

Better Way for Providers To Repay Act of 2021

To provide for a 3-month delay for the recoupment of certain payments made under the accelerated or advance payment programs under the Medicare program.

Better Way for Providers To Repay Act of 2021

Rep. Issa, Darrell E.

R

CA

This bill modifies recoupment provisions under the Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Program during the public health emergency relating to COVID-19. The program provides Medicare payments in advance to eligible providers experiencing claims or cash flow disruptions, such as during national emergencies; the program was specifically expanded in response to COVID-19 to encompass more types of providers, subject to certain recoupment and repayment provisions. The bill provides for an additional 3 months before recoupment of advance payments (through claims offsets) begins, so that recoupment begins 15 months (rather than 12 months) after payments are made. The bill also applies repayments that providers have already made toward the collection of offsets for a corresponding amount of time.

Better Way for Providers To Repay Act of 2021 This bill modifies recoupment provisions under the Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Program during the public health emergency relating to COVID-19. The program provides Medicare payments in advance to eligible providers experiencing claims or cash flow disruptions, such as during national emergencies; the program was specifically expanded in response to COVID-19 to encompass more types of providers, subject to certain recoupment and repayment provisions. The bill provides for an additional one year before recoupment of advance payments (through claims offsets) begins, so that recoupment begins two years (rather than one year) after payments are made. The bill also applies repayments that providers have already made toward the collection of offsets for a corresponding amount of time.

To provide for a 1-year delay for the recoupment of certain payments made under the accelerated or advance payment programs under the Medicare program.

PROVIDING FOR A 1-YEAR DELAY FOR THE RECOUPMENT OF CERTAIN PAYMENTS MADE UNDER THE ACCELERATED OR ADVANCE PAYMENT PROGRAMS UNDER THE MEDICARE PROGRAM. (a) Part A.--Section 1815(f)(2)(C) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395g(f)(2)(C)) is amended-- (1) in clause (i), by striking ``1 year'' and inserting ``2 years''; (2) in clause (ii)(II), by striking ``and'' at the end; (3) in clause (iii), by striking the period and inserting ``; and''; and (4) by adding at the end the following new clause: ``(iv) in the case such hospital has submitted any payment to the Secretary for payments under such program, suspend any offset described in clause (i) for a period of time such that the aggregate amount of any payments so submitted equals the aggregate amount of such offsets that would have been made during such period had this clause not applied.''.

Patient Access to ESRD New Innovative Devices Act This bill requires the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide a certain payment adjustment under the Medicare end-stage renal disease (ESRD) prospective payment system. Specifically, the CMS must provide for a three-year temporary add-on payment adjustment for new medical devices used to diagnose, treat, or manage ESRD. (CMS regulations currently provide a two-year temporary add-on payment adjustment.)

To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to improve access to innovative new medical devices furnished to individuals with end stage renal disease under part B of the Medicare program by establishing a new device add-on payment adjustment under such part. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the ``Patient Access to ESRD New Innovative Devices Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress finds the following: (1) There are approximately 400,000 Medicare beneficiaries with end-stage renal disease, making up 1 percent of the Medicare population but accounting for approximately 7 percent of all Medicare spending. (2) Expected remaining lifetime for dialysis patients under 80 years old is one-third as long as their counterparts without ESRD, and for dialysis patients over 80 years old, it is one- half as long as that of their counterparts without ESRD. (3) On average, hemodialysis patients are hospitalized nearly twice per year and about 30 percent have an unplanned rehospitalization within the 30 days following discharge, contributing to high costs for treating ESRD Medicare beneficiaries. (4) There is a lack of innovative new devices for ESRD Medicare beneficiaries, in part because of the lack of reimbursement incentives for novel devices. SEC. 3. INCREASING PATIENT ACCESS TO INNOVATIVE DEVICES FOR THE TREATMENT OF ESRD. The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall provide, and may implement by program instruction or otherwise-- (1) a 3-year temporary add-on payment adjustment under section 1881(b)(14) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S. 1395rr(b)(14)) for a new medical device approved by the Food and Drug Administration under section 513(f)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360c) on or after January 1, 2020, that is furnished to a beneficiary for the diagnosis, treatment, or management of end stage renal disease; and (2) for such adjustment to be implemented in a nonbudget neutral manner under such section 1881(b)(14). <all>
