HCP HANDOUTS

CBO Score - S. 2840, Bipartisan Primary Care and Health Workforce Act (Feb 6, 2024)
Section 102, Community Health Centers

Based on historical spending patterns for CHCs, CBO estimates that enacting section 102 would increase direct spending by $20.4 billion over the 2024-2033 period.
CBO also estimates that the mandatory funding under section 102 would give rise to secondary effects in the form of federal savings stemming from more cost-effective patient care and federal costs associated with health insurance enrollment assistance provided by CHCs.
CBO expects that the provision in section 102 that would provide $5.8 billion annually over the 2024-2026 period for CHC funding would reduce net direct spending for federally subsidized health insurance because funding those centers would lead to more cost-effective patient care than the care that patients would otherwise receive.
CBO estimates that as a result of that funding, direct spending would decrease by $3.4 billion, on net, over the 2024-2033 period.
Evidence suggests that such care leads to more cost effective care and ultimately to lower federal spending for the Medicaid and Medicare populations they serve; the use of health care provided by CHCs generally is associated with lower spending in emergency departments, in inpatient hospital settings, and for other outpatient services.
CBO estimates that the funding provided under section 102 would reduce federal spending for health insurance by about $11.4 billion over the 2024-2033 period.
CBO estimates that enacting section 102 also would increase the number of people covered by health insurance and the amount provided in federal subsidies for such insurance. CBO estimates that about 200,000 more people would enroll in federally subsidized health insurance in each year in which the section 102 mandatory funding is provided. CBO estimates that the additional enrollment would cost the federal government about $8 billion over the 2024-2033 period.
