Latest action on H.R. 2590: Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects patients with both mental and physical health needs who are served by eligible hospitals. It also affects hospitals that care for many low-income, rural, uninsured, Medicaid, or Medicare patients. Community groups, social service providers, and some justice system partners could also take part if hospitals include them in their plans.

Why this matters: People with mental illness and serious physical health problems often have to navigate separate systems. That can lead to missed care, worse health, and higher costs. This bill would test whether hospitals can improve care by treating the whole person and linking patients to social support. The impact is uncertain because it depends on which hospitals join, what they try, and what the data shows.

Key provisions in H.R. 2590

• Only certain hospitals could join the program. These include specified rural hospitals, large teaching and specialty hospitals with many low-income patients, and small urban safety-net hospitals.
• The program would serve people with both mental and physical health problems. They must also get low-income Medicare Part D drug help, be enrolled in Medicaid, or have no insurance.
• Hospitals must address social needs that affect health, such as food, housing, safety, or money problems. They also must use data to show their community is vulnerable.
• Hospitals cannot use the money to simply replace services they already provide. If they break their agreement, they may have to pay money back.
• The federal health department could pay hospitals in flexible ways each year. Payments could be lump sums, per-person payments, or another model, and hospitals could take on financial risk.
