HR 8823
Passed House Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.

Putting Patients First by Strengthening Provider Accountability in FECA Act

Introduced May 14, 2026

Latest action (Jul 21, 2026) Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.

Summary

The Department of Labor would be granted explicit statutory authority to suspend payments to healthcare providers convicted of fraud under the federal workers' compensation program, including fraud involving similar state programs or federal health care benefit programs such as Medicare. The Department may suspend either payments for services and supplies the provider offers under the program or payments for initial expenses incurred by employing agencies related to the provider. The Department of Labor must issue regulations to implement these suspension provisions and establish formal procedures for enforcement.
