AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require hospitals that receive Medicare payments for direct graduate medical education costs to send the Department of Health and Human Services deidentified information about their medical residents each year, within 180 days after the fiscal year ends. A hospital residency program that does not submit this information would no longer count as an approved medical residency training program for these payments. Within 270 days after each fiscal year ends, the Secretary would report to Congress the number and percentage of residents, by state, who are U.S. citizens, permanent residents, J-1 visa holders, H-1B visa holders, or otherwise lawfully present. The Secretary would also provide hospitals with a standardized form for reporting.
