This week, Holland & Knight Health Dose provides stakeholders in the health sector with insights into several critical issues affecting their industry. The first topic discussed is the survival of House Speaker Johnson against a motion to vacate, followed by updates on FY 2025 appropriations and the reauthorization of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Another significant issue covered in this week’s Health Dose is a white paper on NIH transparency and modernization released by Senate HELP Committee Ranking Member Cassidy. Other topics include the MA Prior Authorization Bill, GOP House E&C Committee leaders calling out ASPR over issues with the National Stockpile, and the House W&M Committee marking up telehealth extension, PBM reform, and rural health bills.
The House E&C Committee will also be marking up telehealth legislation this week, while CMS has proposed a new mandatory organ transplant model for End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Other important developments include the DOJ’s plans to combat healthcare market consolidation with a new healthcare task force and the FDA’s annual meeting on user fee programs.
Concerns about healthcare security have been heightened by a recent cyberattack on a private health system. Additionally, CMS has extended state unwinding flexibilities through June 2025. To stay informed about these developments and more, visit the link provided for the full Health Dose.
