Assessments
The verified original commitment states that Rep. Michael Rulli introduced the CHC REBASE Act, legislation to modernize Medicare payments for Federally Qualified Health Centers. Verified evidence describes the bill as updating the PPS bundle process and establishing telehealth parity. Because this commitment is framed as supporting or introducing legislation, not securing enactment or final reimbursement changes, introduction of the matching legislation by Rulli fulfills the promised action. No enacted outcome is proven.
