On Dec. 21, 2024, President Biden signed the American Relief Act, 2025 (ARA), into law, narrowly avoiding a federal government shutdown. Unlike the more comprehensive bill defeated in the House of Representatives two days earlier after President-elect Trump raised objections, the ARA is a temporary solution to keep the federal government operating through the end of March.
On Wednesday, Jan. 15, 11 a.m.-12 p.m. ET, PYA presents a new webinar, “The American Relief Act, 2025: How We Got Here, What It Means, Where We’re Headed.” During the webinar, PYA’s Martie Ross and Kathy Reep will discuss the impact of the new law, both by what’s included and what’s not. Ross and Reep will prognosticate what will happen in the first months of the Trump administration to address critical outstanding issues such as
- Medicare telehealth coverage
- Medicare physician pay cut
- Price transparency
- Site-neutral payments
- Medicaid DSH payments
- Hospital-at-home demonstration project
Also, Martie and Kathy will discuss two proposed rules released in December: the Contract Year 2026 Medicare Advantage and Part D Proposed Rule and the proposed updates to the HIPAA Security Rule.
This webinar is part of PYA’s twice-monthly Healthcare Regulatory Roundup, a popular series during which PYA experts provide practical insights on the latest industry regulatory developments.
