"Progress" Made On Legislation That Would Promote Health IT, Lawmakers Say

House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Joe Barton (R-Texas) on Thursday after a meeting with Republican leaders said "some progress was made" on finalizing legislation that would promote the implementation of health care information technology (Ota/Reichard, CQ HealthBeat, 9/28). The health care IT bill (HR 4157), which was approved by the House on July 27, would codify the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology within HHS; establish a committee to make recommendations on national standards for medical data storage; and develop a permanent structure to govern national interoperability standards. The bill also would clarify that current medical privacy laws apply to data stored or transmitted electronically and would require the HHS secretary to recommend to Congress a privacy standard to reconcile differences in federal and state laws. Under the bill, the number of billing codes health care providers use to file insurance claims would increase from 24,000 to more than 200,000 by October 2010. In addition, the legislation includes an exemption of anti-kickback laws that would allow hospitals to provide health care IT hardware and software to individual physicians. The Senate in November 2005 passed a different version of the bill (S 1418), which does not include the provision on billing codes or the exemption of anti-kickback laws. Lawmakers cannot agree on funding, privacy protection, interoperability of the system, adoption of the billing code system or anti-kickback exemptions (Kaiser Daily Health Policy Report, 9/28). Progress
Barton and House Ways and Means Committee Chair Bill Thomas (R-Calif.) on Thursday did not discuss any remaining "sticking point[s]," but they said some progress has been made on IT donations, CQ HealthBeat reports. Barton said, "I think the House wants to get a bill, and I think the Senate wants to get a bill." He said he did not attend the meeting in its entirety but said, "The chances are good ... reasonably good this week" that an agreement will be reached. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.); Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee Chair Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.); House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health Chair Nathan Deal (R-Ga.); House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Health Chair Nancy Johnson (R-Conn.) and Senate Finance Committee Chair Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) also participated in the discussions (CQ HealthBeat, 9/28). Leavitt Urges Transparency
HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt on Thursday during a meeting with the board of the North Carolina Medical Society touted President Bush's recent executive order on price transparency. The order requires federal health agencies and other departments that administer or support government health insurance programs to collect and share with consumers information about health care cost and quality. Leavitt said consumers deserve better information about the cost and quality of medical care, but he noted it might take years before consumers can compare quality and costs regularly. "The problem today is that nobody knows. People have no way of knowing if they're getting good quality or value," he said, adding, "It's going to take time, but it's the right thing to do" (Fisher, Raleigh News & Observer, 9/29).
