Premium   Download PDF Now (29 pages)
Congress 115th
Date Requested May 17, 2018
Requested By House Committee on Energy and Commerce
Date Sent June 6, 2018
Description:

On May 9 and May 17, 2018, the House Committee on Energy and Commerce ordered 59 bills to be reported related to the nation’s response to the opioid epidemic. Because of the large number of related bills ordered reported by the Committee, CBO is publishing a single comprehensive document that includes estimates for each piece of legislation.

H.R. 4005, the Medicaid Reentry Act, would direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to convene a group of stakeholders to develop and report to the Congress on best practices for addressing issues related to health care faced by those returning from incarceration to their communities. The bill also would require the Secretary to issue a letter to state Medicaid directors about relevant demonstration projects. Based on an analysis of anticipated workload, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 4005 would cost less than $500,000 over the 2018-2023 period.
