Bill summary
Legislative activity
On July 10, 2025, Senators Raphael Warnock and Tim Scott introduced S.2237, the Hospital Inpatient Services Modernization Act.[5] On the same day, Representative Vern Buchanan introduced H.R.4313 as companion legislation.[6] Representatives Lloyd Smucker and Dwight Evans are the original cosponsors of the House bill.[6][1]
The bill's goal of a five-year extension was achieved instead by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2026, which extended the AHCaH initiative through 2030 while mandating further study into the efficacy of hospital-at-home programs.[7]
