While the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is partially shielded from the impending tumult, it will retain fewer than half of its employees until a shutdown ends.
Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., is surrounded by reporters looking for updates on plans to fund the government and avert a shutdown, at the Capitol in Washington, Friday, Sept. 22, 2023.
The truncated staffing could hamper CMS’s ability to provide adequate oversight on many health benefit programs. Administrative tasks such as issuing replacement Medicare cards and benefit verification services would be temporarily halted. Hospitals and medical providers might experience delays in receiving payment from Medicare.
“Republicans want to totally shutdown the government and possibly risk your social security, medicare, and vets benefits while focusing their time on a lying smear campaign against Pres Biden,” Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr. wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, Sunday.
