H.R. 3263, a bill to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to extend the Medicare Independence at Home Medical Practice Demonstration program

H.R. 3263 would extend the Independence at Home (IAH) program for two years, through late fiscal year 2019, and would increase the aggregate cap on the number of Medicare beneficiaries served by participating providers from 10,000 to 15,000. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3263 would increase direct spending by $16 million over the 2018-2027 period.

Enacting H.R. 3263 would affect direct spending; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. The legislation would not affect revenues.

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3263 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits by more than $5 billion in one or more of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

H.R. 3263 contains no intergovernmental or private sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
