The increased scrutiny of the nursing home industry following President Joe Biden’s reform plans has led to increased interest from lawmakers, namely an investigation into private equity firms’ ownership of nursing homes, Kaiser Health Network reported April 13.

The investigation will be headed by the Government Accountability Office. The agency plans to issue a report on their findings in the fall, Chuck Young, the GAO’s managing director of public affairs, told Kaiser

It comes in response to a pre-pandemic request from House Ways and Means Committee Chair Richard Neal, D-Mass. Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-N.J., also submitted a second request to the agency in 2021 regarding private equity investments in healthcare, but Mr. Young said it is still in the agency’s queue.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
