The Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health will hold a hearing on accountable care organizations, according to a Kaiser Health News report.

The House subcommittee is still in development, as Rep. Joe Pitts (R-Pa.) said he does not yet have a timetable or agenda for that hearing. Rep. Pitts said the subcommittee also plans to hold hearings on the Medicare and Medicaid elements of a 2012 budget plan as well as Medicare and Medicaid fraud.

A hearing with Don Berwick, CMS administrator, will be postponed, according to the report.
