The wide-reaching Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (BBA), passed by Congress and signed by the President on February 9, 2018, extends and modifies dozens of health care programs, including extending funding for two years for community health centers and extending the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) for an additional four years through Fiscal Year (FY) 2027. The bill also provides funding for a number of Medicare extenders and incorporates policy reforms from the CHRONIC Care Act and the Medicare Part B Improvement Act – affecting Stark Law compliance, physician payment plans, telehealth, home health services, and other programs. The bipartisan legislation also includes funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and for efforts to combat the opioid crisis. Finally, the legislation repeals the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) and eliminates the Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) reductions scheduled for FY18 and FY19. Of note, the legislation does not include ACA market stabilization measures to address ongoing uncertainty and turmoil in the individual insurance market. Congress will now turn to enacting a full-year omnibus appropriations measure for FY18 under the newly passed BBA.
