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.
