Summary of Bill HR 2199

Bill 119 HR 2199 aims to make changes to title XVIII of the Social Security Act in order to clarify and uphold the wide range of protections provided by the Medicare Secondary Payer Act. The Medicare Secondary Payer Act is a law that ensures Medicare is not the primary payer for medical expenses when another entity, such as a private insurance company or employer-sponsored plan, is responsible for covering those costs.

The bill seeks to address any confusion or ambiguity surrounding the Medicare Secondary Payer Act by providing clear guidelines and definitions. This will help ensure that Medicare remains a secondary payer in situations where another entity is legally responsible for covering medical expenses.

By preserving the protections under the Medicare Secondary Payer Act, this bill aims to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse within the Medicare system. It also seeks to protect the financial stability of Medicare by ensuring that the program is not overburdened with costs that should be covered by other entities. Overall, Bill 119 HR 2199 is designed to strengthen the Medicare Secondary Payer Act and ensure that Medicare remains a sustainable and effective healthcare program for all beneficiaries.
